The 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 – next event celebrating Halloween!
Join us for our annual walk in Carnation, celebrating the Halloween season. The route explores Remlinger Farm and then on to the Snoqualmie Valley RR Trail, across the Tolt River, and into the town of Carnation, through residential neighborhoods, and the quaint commercial district. Enjoy views of farm fields, the Tolt and Snoqualmie rivers, and the Cascade Mountains. The 10K route will visit the Cascade Rose Alpaca Farm.
