Revision to Walk and Talk the 185th Corridor

Bus from Monka to Spartan

By Diane Hettrick

The Walk and Talk scheduled for Tuesday, October 1 to tour the area around the 185th Shoreline North light rail station and traffic corridor has revised plans to hold a discussion at the Easy Monkey Tap House in the North City Business District. (See original article)

Easy Monkey is closed on Tuesdays.

Instead the discussion, planned for 6pm - 7pm, will be held at the Monka Brewery, 17211 15th Ave NE, just down the street. Monka confirms that they are looking forward to hosting the group and have a capacity of 49.

Organizers of the tour, Feet First, expected that most people would want to walk back to their vehicles, parked at the Spartan Gym.

Be aware that the route along NE 180 has two major construction projects, no sidewalks but a painted line on the north side. The street is dark enough that pedestrians are not only close to traffic but very hard to see. Reflective gear is advisable.

10th NE also has no sidewalks but a wider area to walk around the parked cars.

Feet First advises that Bus #348 leaves NE 175th and 15th NE at 6:55pm and 7:25pm and goes by the Spartan Gym / Shoreline Center.
