Emerald City Wanderers
Seattle, Washington
We are a walking club which hosts non-competitive walking events for fun, fitness, and friendship. We’re a Seattle-based chapter of America’s Walking Club, a nation-wide organization which promotes walking and other fitness events. We host local walk events, mostly on or near holidays – New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, Easter, July 4th, Labor Day, and Halloween. We also offer self-guided year-round-walks in Seattle.
Join us for our next event for Labor Day!
Explore evolving Ballard: craftsman homes to condos/apartments, retail core to restaurant row, craft breweries and coffee shops, Ballard Commons, the National Nordic Museum, and, of course, the Chittenden Locks, pictured above.
