Green River Trail — Friday, Aug. 3, 2018

Decided to make this my urban hike to cross off the square on this year's Hike-a-thon bingo sheet. I started at Starfire in Tukwila and headed north. There is plenty of parking if there isn't an event of some kind going on. This is a nicely paved path and the brush along the river side had been trimmed back. There were plenty of ripe black berries along the way. We passed a handful of other walkers, runners, and a couple people on bikes but it wasn't too busy mid-day on a Friday. There are a couple spots scattered along where you can get down the river bank for a closer look. I was pleasantly surprised that the amount of garbage along the trail wasn't much worse than some busy trails along I-90. The trail at this point was quiet outside of the sounds of the train going by and some industrial work. Not my first choice for a hike, but I appreciate that this trail and others like it exist in the city.
