Lake Washington Blvd Family Ride

Join us for a ride from Genesse Park along Lake Washington Blvd to Seward Park on a 9.5-ish mile route at a leisurely party pace of 10-12 mph.

In Southeast Seattle, we have the beautiful Lake Washington Blvd and recently the City of Seattle closed this stretch of road to cars, except in a few places, on weekends. Join me and my daughter, Ana, for a mellow ride along this picturesque stretch of Lake, around Seward Park, stopping for some playground fun at Seward Park, and then back to Genesee Park taking full advantage of the Keep Moving Street to go down to Mt. Baker Beach.

Since this ride is meant for families or people with kids, the playground/snack break may go on for a bit.  Cascade policy for family/kids rides is in the link, below.  A quick summary:  

Children 15 and under:

• Must have the permission of the ride leader at least 24 hours ahead of time. Ride leader contact information is displayed on each ride.
• Must be accompanied at all times by either be their parent or legal guardian, or an adult designated as their guardian for the ride by their parent or legal guardian.

Let's meet at the Genesee Park Playfield playground at 9:15am for our pre-ride safety briefing, with a departure at 9:30am.

We will climb and descend hills at our own pace, and our goal will be to stay together. 

Restrooms are available at the start. We will stop along the way for restrooms/water at 5 miles. 

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Please have full fenders if the roads are wet, or you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group.

Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, the Ride Leader will post a ride-canceled note in the Comments section below at least two hours prior to the start and Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location.

We hope you can join us!
