Slog - Comments on The Hidden Staircase http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/07/the_hidden_staircase This is my favorite place in Seattle right now. An awkward walk between neighborhoods that used to take me a half hour now takes me five minutes....

So it's not Republican or Harrison but sort of an extension of the old Howe St staircase, the one that connects 10 Av E to Lakeview.

The park is part of my morning commute and I really enjoy it -- designed well (there's only so much you can do under a freeway) and convenient.

The ones over by prospect and highland sometimes have sweet little hidey holes for drinkin' in nature and the such.

You can now get from 10th Ave E all the way down to Eastlake easily on foot, by heading down due west. The return trip can not, however, be called easy. :)

Boo.

Someone wrote an article several years ago about long Seattle staircases. Was that the Stranger?

The picture only shows about half of it. It is an ascent of 300 feet and can make yer chest feel like a damn blast furnace when you run to the top. http://www.mapmyrun.com/
