Urban Walk - Top of Queen Anne Hill

We'll make our way around 3/4 of the crown of Queen Anne via the Aurora Bridge, and on our way back to Fremont, via the Fremont bridge.  This loop adds some milage and elevation gain to a beautiful early Spring walk with many viewpoints to take in.  We'll pass Betty Bowen viewpoint and Kerry Park.

Starting at Fremont Coffee Co, we'll head East and up, past the Fremont Troll.  We'll then head South along the Aurora Bridge to connect with the crown of Queen Anne at it's NE corner. We'll make our way up Queen Anne Drive until we reach W McGraw St.  We'll follow McGraw westward until we reach our first pit stop at Macrina Bakery.  

We then head South along 7th Ave W until we reach the historic boulevard of 8th Ave W which will curve into W Highland Drive at the Betty Bowen viewpoint.  

From Betty Bowen, we head along W Highland Dr to Kerry Park, and then Eastward to Bigelow Ave N.  At the Galer St Stairs, we'll head down to Westlake Ave N.  We'll then walk North along Westlake until we reach the Fremont Bridge, where we'll cross and return to our starting point at Fremont Coffee Co.

I hope to keep a brisk pace on this walk, with breaks at viewpoints and Macrina Bakery.  Pack a lunch to eat at Betty Bowen, or purchase some refreshments at Macrina.  

Meet outside the Fremont Coffee Co (459 N 36th St, Seattle, WA 98103) just before 10:00am gear on and ready to walk.  There is street parking and paid lots located near by. This location is served by the #40 Metro bus.
