Walk/Bike Burien (WABI) recently had a “changing of the guard”, gratefully thanking Board Members that had served since its launch in 2011. These Board Members bowed out of their time with WABI and went on to concentrate on their other life activities:
- Brooks Stanfield
- Jimmy Schulz
- Janet Schull
- Sue Blazak
A big THANK YOU to these great folks for their enthusiasm and involvement in WABI’s endeavors of the first few years!
In 2011 WABI was launched by a group of us citizens who shared a passion for making our community HEALTHIER and MORE FUN through walking and bicycling. We like to stir things up with events and advocacy to nurture the walk/bike community in town.
And now we’ve added new Board Members! Walkers. Bikers. Folks intent on paving the way for those that like to get around on two feet and two wheels.

Maureen Hoffmann
WABI Burien President
Designer of Graphics and Media, and the “WAB-master”
Maureen has been committed to WABI since Day One and was instrumental in getting the 41 new bike racks around town and she’s been managing them ever since. She leads the monthly Walk-n-Talks on the first Sunday of each month, now in its seventh year… among other things! With your comments or questions, please contact Maureen here: info@wabiburien.org OR Read more here.
Laura Kennedy Gould
WABI Burien Treasurer
WABI Weekday Walkers Leader
In 2013, Laura linked up with WABI and launched a recurring event for folks who would like to walk during the week. In a burst of alliteration:
WABI Weekday Walkers Walk (….Wait for it….) on Wednesdays!
Weekday Walkers meet on the third Wednesday of the month at 9 am, generally at a coffee shop or public place (like a park). For questions, comments and suggestions, please contact Laura Kennedy Gould at weekdaywalkers@WABI.org. OR Read more here.

Sava & Ben Hruska
WABI Burien Board Members
Sava and Ben joined WABI as Board Members in 2018. “Our family is always out and about walking the neighborhoods, taking up a city block when biking with our kids. I see community engagement as a key role in building a better, stronger, safer and prosperous future for our families. What better way than biking, walking, moving. Let’s WABI!” 🙂 – Sava Read more here.
