Directions

Route

  1. Start at the north edge of Olympic Sculpture Park and join the Elliott Bay Trail through Myrtle Edwards Park.
  2. Continue north on the separated waterfront path into Centennial Park to the fishing pier area.
  3. Turn around there and follow the same waterfront path south to the sculpture park.

Good to know

The waterfront path is shared with bicycles and other wheeled users. Wind exposure and rail or port activity can make the route feel less sheltered than an inland park walk.
