Our area has the city’s longest stretch of contiguous forest – the West Duwamish Greenbelt – and it was the place to be to celebrate National Trails Day this weekend. Paul West from the West Duwamish Greenbelt Trails group shared the photos from Saturday’s guided hikes; below, Patti Bakker from Seattle Parks told hikers about the city’s forest-management plans:

The trailhead closest to Saturday’s hiking area is at 12th SW/SW Holly (map), if you want to go explore on your own. You can also help out in the forest – next work party is June 17th.

Use to be a nice area to walk through. Lots of residentially challenged people in there now.

  It’s really not that bad, especially lately and in the section north of Highland Park Way because there’s a lot of restoration activities by various organizations. I encourage you to go check it out! The trail is still marked and well cleared from Saturday’s event.

Sorry, comment time is over.
