Solstice Park is a nice way to start a long walk to Lincoln Park. You go out of the house and turn left along 44th Ave SW. At the split take the lower level and keep looking to the left until you see a staircase going into the trees. It's a bit hidden. When you take the staircase this will take you to Solstice Park where there is a sundial for Solstice celebrations. Go past this and you will see tennis courts ahead and to your right and a P Garden on the left of the trail. If you continue down past the tennis courts and cross the street you will be at Lincoln Park- a nice play area for the kids, hiking trails throughout that lead down to the water front. Great Park for Pokemon Go!:)

Its really nice to take these stairs down to Lincoln Park. Or you can run up and down the stairs for exercise. Going back up the stairs is for the healthy and the hardy. There are hundreds of stairs! I like to walk all the way down to Lincoln Park to the Fauntleroy Ferry and then along the waterfront to the Colman Pool. If you go beyond the Colman pool there is a path along the waterfront.

You know you need to see where the closest Starbucks is. West Seattle is riddled with them. Seattle is where Starbucks began, we invented coffee! Not really, but we like to make the rest of the world think so. The original location is in Pike Place Market...
