The Seattle Olmsted Circuit sweeps around Seattle and Section 11 is a walker favorite with ferrys, The Market, Sculpture Garden, beach walk, grain terminal and the only casual section (very short) after passing by a host of water craft. Section may be a bit muddy / slippery. Activity counts toward Seattle Olmsted 70 Badge.
Check the Seattle tide table to see if we'll be walking along tshe beach ats Interbay or taking the casual trail from the Elliott Bay Marina.
Meet shortly before 9am packed, toileted (bathrooms in ferry termnal) and ready to walk on the sidewalk adjacent to Pioneer Square Habitat Beach adjacent to Pier 50. This is Sunday so there is abundant free parking on street. And excellent public transit. Some may chose to leave a vehicle near the Magnolia Village end point and bus back to the start.
