Saturday Morning Walk/Cherry Blossoms - Seward Park, Seattle
Details
NOTE EARLIER TIME
(CHERRY BLOSSOM RUN IS IN APRIL SO I THINK WE SHOULD BE OK.)
Welcome to spring season. Rain happens, but i try not to let it stop us. High winds or torrential rain, however, will cause me to cancel completely or change what we do. Please check in the morning of the event to see what is happening. Arm yourself for seasonal weather swings. Please keep your RSVP up to date - even if you are on the waiting list.
Please remember to be kind and respectful to all members of this group as well as other people and dogs you meet along the way. Do not allow your dog go up to other dogs or people without permission from those people and dog owners. Be mindful of your dog’s whereabouts and manage accordingly for the safety and comfort of all.. Please keep your RSVP up to date - even if you are on the waiting list.

There is also a forest path that runs through the center of the park.
Maybe the cherry blossoms will be out.
