K+K's Stairway Walk #6 (West Seattle)

Pigeon Point stairs in West Seattle We started at Longfellow Creek Legacy Trail where the big dragonfly structure is ( looks a bit like one of the Miyazaki movie characters) .Then, in the woods, there i...s a very interesting bridge called “Salmon-Bone Bridge”. The trail continues through the quiet. The stairs go up from there to the Pigeon Point neighborhood. After walking up 274 steps, you can enjoy a unique and kind of cute neighborhood with a view.

 

 

 

K+K's Stairway Walk #5 (Golden Gardens Beach)

Golden Gardens Beach Stairs. Park the car at 85th street and the stairs go down through the woods to the beach. These stairs somehow remind me of a Japanese shrine visit. It was a holy and sacred feeling.... After you go down the stairs you can enjoy the beach. It was a gorgeous, sunny day. I found a pink bench on a dune and sat a little while. It was a bit like a fantasy – a contemporary short story-like feeling. After the challenging 272 steps up to the top, we had some good coffee at Café Fiore, situated at the stairs’ starting point.

 

 

 

Summer remains a bit, but air is cool...

K+K's stairway walk #4 (Cedar Park/Lake Forest Park)

Cedar Park stairway in Lake Forest Park. We decided to go to stairways near beaches or lakes during September since fall is coming. This walk starts from a quiet residential area and it connects to the Burke-Gilman Trail. We didn’t have time to complete the trail part today, but we made it up-and down all 275 stairs!!

End of Summer 2013

Good-bye Summer 2013

K +K's Seattle stairway city walk #3

. In our guidebook I found a couple of nice beach parks in Burien, and one became one of my favorite: Eagle Landing Park! The stairs to the beach are quite steep but there is ...a railing .The forest provided us a nice canopy and the view of the shore from the stairs was enjoyable. If you go on this walk, remember: after enjoying the beach you need to go back up the 289 steps to get back to the parking ! 388 steps completed (from 3,611 total steps)
