Let’s brave the threat of wet weather and wander through North SeaTac Park for our next WABI Weekday Walkers outing on Wednesday, Oct 16th. This lovely park is located just east of Burien, in neighboring SeaTac.
In 2021, The Seattle Times reported:
The area that makes up North SeaTac Park has long been intertwined with the Port of Seattle. Originally, the park land was a residential area that was cleared of houses beginning in the 1970s due to aviation safety regulations. It remained abandoned for about 20 years until it was reborn as North SeaTac Park in 1998.
Today, the park features a peaceful setting with a paved, flat trail (part of West Side Trail) that travels through wooded areas and past a playground, ball fields, and a frisbee golf course.
Let’s meet at the Highline/SeaTac Botanical Garden parking lot (adjacent to the SeaTac Community Center). We’ll walk through the parking lot and take a left onto S 136th Street. Once in the park, we’ll loop through on paved park trails. The walk should take about 75 minutes.
Date: Wednesday, Oct 16, 2024
Time: Meet 5-10 minutes before 9:00 so we can start walking promptly at 9:00 am.
Meeting Place: Highline/SeaTac Botanical Garden, 13735 24th Ave. S. SeaTac, WA 98168 (adjacent to the SeaTac Community Center).
