Feeling cooped up during winter’s dark, gray days of rainfall? Get out for a walk! Have a nice chat with other local folks. Get some fresh air and chase the doldrums away. (And if you have your pedometer, come see how many steps you can log toward your daily goal of 10,000.)
The forecast is for cloudy but DRY SKIES on Sunday, Feb. 3, (but raingear may be wise nonetheless). This is a FREE event and is enjoyable for all ages (including little ones in strollers).
Date: Sunday, February 3, 2013 (Rain or shine).
Time: Meet-up at 2:00. Walking starts at about 2:15.
Who: Walkers of every level and ability
(dogs are welcome)
Place: Meet on the grassy knoll at Burien’s Town Square Park.
Route: This will be a shortened Gregory Heights Route. West on SW 152nd,
then south on Ambaum toward Gregory Heights, then looping back around to Town Square.
Distance: About 2.22 miles round trip, partly flat/partly sloping, with some sidewalks.

Intentions for Burien’s Walk-n-Talk:
- “Encourage active living to support physical and mental health.” (Part of Burien’s “Vision”.)
- Initiate conversation between friends and neighbors, new and old.
And here’s a tip: We’re having a special, second walk in February on Saturday the 9th! WABI Burien is partnering with the Feet First Organization for the Seattle Stairways Walk. It, too, is a free event, but requires pre-registration and acceptance of their terms here.
