About us
Moderate-paced walks for adults with active work and life schedules, newcomers, and anyone who enjoys thoughtful conversation.
This group is designed for people who:
• are new to the Eastside or looking to expand their local circle
• prefer smaller, more relaxed gatherings over large events
• enjoy engaging conversation across work, life, and current topics
• want a steady, moderate walking pace (not a slow stroll, not a fitness hike)
A consistent space to walk, talk, and meet interesting people in the area.
We rotate among four roughly 3-mile routes, all starting and ending at Luke McRedmond Park:
• Sammamish River — river, Redmond Central Connector, and Powerline trails
• Windmill — Marymoor Park, the historic Clise Estate, and windmill
• Osprey — Marymoor Park, open fields, and osprey nesting areas
• Urban Redmond — Bear Creek, public art, light rail, and downtown trails
Walks are typically held on Sundays around 10:00 am–11:15 am. We gather at the covered pavilion at the south end of Luke McRedmond Park. From the Luke McRedmond parking lot, walk south/southwest along the grassy lot/dog park. Exact Google Maps coordinates are: 47°40'21.1"N 122°07'54.3"W
We walk primarily on paved trails. Please arrive a few minutes early so we can begin on time. Out of respect for everyone’s schedules, the walk starts promptly at the posted time.
Weather: Walks generally take place in light rain or showers. In the event of heavy rain, hazardous conditions, or other significant weather, the event may be changed or canceled. Any changes will be posted on the event page.
