Longfellow Creek and Pigeon Point

This 2 mile-long Seattle stairway walk takes place in West Seattle, atop the northern tip of Puget Ridge. From the top of this tree-covered ridge in the Pigeon Point neighborhood, you can get peek-a-boo views both east and west, Cascades and Olympics, depending on the season. The walk starts out down in the lowlands, on the incredible Longfellow Creek Legacy Trail, where you'll explore one of the nicest sections of this year-round creek. Thanks to careful design and determined restoration work largely carried out by volunteers, salmon and other native species swim here again.

The slideshow marked by the "www" icon contains additional pictorial content referenced in the book. Scroll below the slideshow for even more Seattle stairs pictures.
