Salmon Bone Bridge Closed Through March, 2021

Seattle Parks tells us that the Salmon Bone Bridge (or "Fishbone Bridge") is closed for deck repairs through the end of March 2021. Regrettably this closes off most (but not all) of the Longfellow Creek Legacy Trail section along the early part of this route. 

Here's a workaround. Enter the Longfellow Creek Legacy Trail, as directed at the start of the walk. Just a few dozen feet along, take the trail/walkway on the right, heading upslope through the Dragonfly Pavilion (pictured below). Turn left onto 28th Ave SW just past the pavilion. Walk two blocks south, skirting Longfellow Creek on your left. Turn left onto SW Nevada St, crossing a bridge above Longfellow Creek with views of the Legacy Trail. Turn right onto 26th Ave SW, then left at the next block to end your detour and rejoin the route at SW Genesee St.
