Meet in the parking area outside the Rainier Beach Community Center shortly before 9am.
Join fellow urban walkers, hikers and guests to follow the Chief Sealth Trail south then cross high over I-5 and rail lines to reach the Duwamish River. We're in the center of Seattle's Boeing-centered aviation industry. Follow north along the river to South Park where we'll catch a Metro Bus to avoid the difficult State Highway 509 intersections. Wrap up the walk at DubSea Coffee in White Center (Greenbridge neighborhood). Return via bus and light rail to Rainier Beach. Walkers from sections 4, 5 and 6 are invited to gather at a Colombia City pub after their walks.
Note--both mileage and elevation gained are reduced by the short, safety-first bus ride.
