What we’re about
Feet First is a local nonprofit working to ensure all communities in Washington are walkable. We organize many fun walking events throughout the year---come walk with us!
Most of the walks are led by trained Feet First's Neighborhood Walking Ambassadors. Our Feet First Walks are for everyone who wants to discover new walking paths, experience other places on foot, and meet friends. Walking together is a healthy, sustainable, and fun form of transportation providing a better understanding of our surroundings and how to improve them and the opportunity to share knowledge. You'll see a whole lot more at 3mph compared to 30mph!

Whether you walk your child to school, walk to the senior center, or walk to your bus, or just enjoy walking in your neighborhood, we work to ensure everyone has a safe way to go by foot.
With your support, Feet First is working hard to make that happen.

Burien Library, 400 SW 152nd St, Burien, WA, USJoin Feet First Neighborhood Walking Ambassadors, Chris and Val Ensor and fellow volunteers to visit Burien. Attention: This walk begins at 11:15 am - an hour and 15 mins later than most of our other walks to allow access to the library restrooms when the building opens at 11 am.
OUR ROUTE: We will walk a 3.6-mile loop starting from the Burien Library, 400 SW 152nd St, Burien, WA 98166.

ACCESS: Trails and walkways may be paved, unpaved, include short hills and some broken and uneven sidewalk pavement. Some of the sidewalks are narrow. So, we can only walk a maximum of two abreast and in single file on parts of our route. Great care and attention will be needed. There are some busy street crossings along the way. So, the route could be a bit challenging for wheelchair users and for other wheeled devices. Children are welcome to join us, but they will need to be carried by parents if they get tired. Well-behaved dogs on a leash may also join us.
CLOTHING: As we will be crossing a number of busy streets wearing something bright to be visible to motorists would be very helpful. Prepare for the weather with raingear.
