This is a history ride to visit and learn facts about various historic and interesting sites around Highline in Tukwila, SeaTac, Burien, and White Center.
We will meet in front of the main entrance to the Tukwila International Blvd light rail station (3651 Southcenter Blvd, Tukwila, WA 98188). Parking can be found at the light rail station. Transit access includes the Link light rail Line 1 and King County Metro Bus Routes 124, 128, RapidRide A, and RapidRide F. Bicycle access is from bike facilities on Southcenter Blvd and S 154th St as part of the Lake to Sound Trail.
Please be ready to ride at 10:00 AM. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that’s done. If you miss the briefing you will not be able to ride with the group.
There are a total of 12 stops on this ride during which the ride leader will give some details about the history/geography/etc. for a couple of minutes. We will take restroom & water/snack breaks at Burien Community Center (mile 8) and Sunset Park (mile 17).
The route is mostly on paved roads and trails.
Please note: due to all of the starts/stops, this ride is expected to last around 4-5 hours (estimated finish after 2:00 pm).
