The 2nd West Seattle Saunter (July 11th at 9:45am)

The 2nd West Seattle Saunter (July 11th at 9:45am)

Howdy Y’all,

After organizing the 2nd Seattle Super Saunter for about 1500 folks about a month ago, we are back with another group walking adventure.

Although the Super Saunter allowed folks to be able to see a large portion of the city, given the geography of Seattle there are parts that make it difficult to include *cough cough (Ballard and West Seattle).

So just like last year, there will be another saunter to explore the mysterious and often forgotten part of our fine city. So get your passports ready for the West Seattle Saunter!
All are welcome to this free event and we have about 200 folks signed up so far. The plan is to begin from the West Seattle Water Taxi Pier at 9:45am on July 12th (there is a water taxi leaving the mainland at 9:25am) . Highlights will include Alki Beach, Schmitz Preserve Park, Lincoln Park, the tallest hill in the city, and finishing at West Seattle Summerfest at Alaska Junction. You can check out the route here. The planned saunter will be around 12 miles and around 800ft of elevation gain with all welcome to join for 1 mile or all 12. Additionally folks can join along the way with Lincoln Park near Colman pool being the best spot, since we plan to arrive and stop there around 12:15-12:30pm.

West Seattle is a true treat and always a place I enjoy exploring when I get the chance. There may not be a better opportunity to explore everything West Seattle has to offer than on what is sure to be an idyllic Seattle Summer day in July. You can sign up with this form.

This is totally free and feel free to bring a friend! We hope to see all of you there, and especially those that were not able to make it out to the Super Saunter!
