Welcome to Walkable Living In Seattle! This blog will feature a variety of tips and stories about living in neighborhoods around Seattle that lend themselves to navigation via walking.
For those of you already living a sustainable lifestyle, this site will provide you with new ways to save time and money by incorporating more walking and less car-driving in your community. Also, for those of you thinking about moving to a community where you can walk to everything you need, we will relate our experiences of making that transition.
We two authors have lived in towns that necessitated car travel to reach any destination. We realize that the current geography of most towns in America shuns walking or biking to get to work or the grocery store. However, Seattle's neighborhoods (such as Wallingford, Queen Anne, Ballard and Phiney Ridge) embrace and encourage a healthy and walkable culture.
While walking may not always be in the cards if you need to get from one end of town to the other, alternative means of transit permeate the Emerald City. In this blog we will also incorporate tactics and tricks for navigating public transit, car shares, and other ways of getting around.
Finally, we want to make this a fun place where we share relevant current events on walking and sustainable living, including humorous anecdotes and zany stats. So, please join us each week as we enlighten your mind and whisk you off your feet....and into your neighborhoods!
