Don’t forget the special 10-mile walks put on by Seattle Sound Striders on their 3 days of walks south of Seattle, two of the days here in Burien: May 23, 24 and 25 (as we first reported HERE). (The Sound Striders are affiliated with Seattle Parks & Recreation.) Walkers may take part in all, some or part of these walks, depending on their ability.
Just print out the map for the day(s) you’d like to tackle and show up at the meeting place, ready for a prompt departure at 9:30. See details below.
Barb and Karin from Seattle Striders scout out the Burien trail.
