Urban Hikers Tour Neighborhood Libraries

November 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

18 members of the Seattle Mountaineers and their friends left the Magnolia Public Library on their 11.8-mile journey to seven libraries in one day. Call it an urban hike. The hikers walked at about 3 miles per hour and visited the libraries in Queen Anne, Fremont, Wallingford, Green Lake, Greenwood and Ballard.

At the Magnolia branch, the hikers got a special tour of the renovated library and had their Library Passports stamped. The goal is to get their passports stamped at each city library. Today’s hikers range in age from 24 up into their 70s (an 80-year-old has been on previous library hikes).

Did anyone get a photo when the hikers were at the QA Library?
