We have this description from their Facebook page:
Nancy Helm, retired from the Environmental Protection Agency, will lead a walk from FECO, down Ravenna Creek to its junction with Lake Washington. You will explore ways the original Coast Salish inhabitants interacted with the creek and discuss how we can protect and sustain it. Distance is ~3.5 miles on sidewalks and unpaved paths. We will return via light rail to the Roosevelt Station.
