Let’s explore along the Duwamish River, learning some area history, culminating at Duwamish Hill Preserve. Seattlesouthside.org calls the Preserve “a 10.5 acre parcel of historical, cultural and ecological significant land in Tukwila.” Also, “The hill from which the preserve gets its name is a glacial remnant and within the preserve many species of flora and fauna that are rarely seen along the banks of the Duwamish River can be found.”

We’ll start our walk at the Tukwila Community Center, crossing the Duwamish River by footbridge to join the Green River trail going north. Our first stop will be a site of artistic appreciation created by a multi-cultural coalition of citizens. We’ll then head to the Duwamish Hill Preserve where there is an optional climb to an expansive vista.
All are welcome to join us on Wednesday, May 18th at 9am. The walk will be close to 3 miles over paved streets, trails, and sidewalks. The optional climb adds elevation change and about ½ mile. Total estimated time is 90 minutes.
