A Ramble from Pier 56 to Lake Washington, Summer, 2023
This one runs from Seattle’s touristy waterfront, through downtown and 4 other neighborhoods to Lake Washington. It is, pretty ,uch, a straight shot along Seneca St until it angle in and becomes E. Union. From there it runs into the Madrona Park neighborhood and we follow 34th Ave E around and down to the water. From Downtown, we go through Capitol Hill, First Hill, and the Central District where they all seem to converge, and pass through until Madrona Park. You can practically see the characteristics of each neighborhood as we pass through and this walk shows off lots of Seattle styles. Enjoy!
