This week, we helped Emily find a bike route from Admiral to work at the VA Hospital on Beacon Hill. And Regan, who was looking for a safer way to ride from White Center to South Park and Georgetown. If you are looking for alternative ways to get to an essential job, do an essential errand, or some socially distanced exercise, and deal with closure of the West Seattle Bridge, this would be a great time to try it by bike.
Need a route? See our Resources page for mapped routes. Print or download for visual and audible turn-by-turn cues. If you don’t see what you need, email us. We’ll send you a custom route map, and connect you with a volunteer buddy for a (socially distanced) test ride if you like. westseattlebikeconnections (at) gmail (dot) com
The Spokane Street Bridge (the “low bridge”) has a nice wide pedestrian and bike path fully separated from the heavy truck traffic. It connects to several good bike routes to SODO, Pioneer Square, Downtown, Beacon Hill and beyond. The Duwamish Trail gets you to the First Avenue South Bridge and Georgetown, or into South Park. The South Park Bridge also takes you to Georgetown.
