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 nationwide 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 walk event – Oct. 31!

The route explores Remlinger Farm, and then onto the Snoqualmie Valley Railroad Trail, across the Tolt River, and into the town of Carnation, exploring residential neighborhoods and the quaint commercial district.
