Recently saw a reel walking 520 and took the link back, figured I want to do the same. A runner friend ended up joining me so we took some detours and made it a marathon distance loop. My feet hurt but it was definitely a fun experience. Some highlights: P3: Hiking up under I5. I already did the Howe St stairs so took a slightly different route this time and walked the upper end of the stairs. P4: Walked into a bunch of cool neighborhood sculptures, turns out it’s Art! by Aaron Hooley (on Google map). Picked some wild black berries nearby, super sweet! P5: 520 has a cyclist & pedestrian counter at Seattle side. We found out we were the 142 and 143th pedestrians walked this bridge this year (no idea if you need to walk the full bridge to be counted though). P6: 520 has a super wide pedestrian & cyclist trail with some benches and historical facts. We thought we saw a cat-sized dead bat and was quite surprised, turns out it’s a plastic decor after closely examining the photos we took later. We drank boba and ate a bunch of carbs in Bellevue. Walked alongside the link rails down to I90. Took a little detour on Mercer island and my friend jogged a school track to catch up with my milliage since we started form different places. P10: The mountain and moon were out at the same time when we walked back on i90 in the afternoon. P11: Run into folks playing bicycle hockey (no idea what’s the real name, first time seeing it) at Judkins Park. Looks super fun. Ate dim sum at Chinatown and gave our exhausted feet some break. P12-14: Walked alongside the waterfront and Seattle center and back to MOHAI (where we started). submitted by /u/mfcndw |
