Chapter 23, Burien: Eagle Landing Stairs

DateWednesday, March 3

The Single Stairway on this Walk is Permanently Closed

There are good reasons to visit Eagle Landing Park in Burien, but the stairway at the bottom of the park trail is no longer one of them. The beloved stairs that used to carry walkers down to the beach are permanently closed, and for good reason. Unrelenting landslides have made the stairway highly unstable, and large falling trees have demolished sections as well. The park itself remains one of our favorites, and is well worth visiting on its own, but the 289-step stairway is a permanent loss.

When it was still open...
