People walk to/from the cruise terminal at Smith Cove each day there is a ship in port when the weather is decent. At minute 3:51 you will see the trail cross in front of the Pier 91 Guard Gate and head towards Seattle's Waterfront. If you pick it up at minute 3:45 you will see a sign for Pier 91 in the upper right corner. This Youtube video is a reverse view of your planned walk. Let's ask my friend who has walked this trail about their thoughts. Once you start the trail, you are committed to finishing it. Turn right onto the trail (you will see grass and water), and basically follow this paved trail until you reach the Seattle Waterfront. Follow the road towards the guard gate, walk out thru the guard gate, and just pass the guard gate you will see a paved trail (Elliott Bay Trail). You could follow the road while walking thru Park Lot B (safer than walking along the roadway). You can walk from Pier 91 to the DT Seattle Waterfront along the Elliott Bay Trail - (if you had luggage I would not recommend it, but you said no luggage).įrom the terminal building, you would follow the passengers walking towards the Uber/Lyft pick up area, continue walking pass that area towards a large parking area (Lot B where staff parks). Is this advisable or would sticking with Alaskan Way West be best? We've never walked out of a port. However, the map makes it appear that we can get on Elliott Bay Trail sooner. It has us taking Alaskan Way West for a bit before getting on Elliot Bay Trail. Hello and thank you! If we do this, we won't have any luggage with us. Is it safe? Yes, we take our grandchildren on this walk and there are tons of bikers. Use a mapping app to see where to get off the bus and access the bridges. There are two pedestrian bridges that cross the tracks. It will take you through the hard to navigate portion, there are active train tracks and fences to keep you from crossing from the street to the park. Consider walking across the parking lot and up a set of stairs on the Magnolia Bridge where bus #33 stops. There is a very nice park along the waterfront, but getting to it can be tricky if you don’t know what you’re doing. Think my answer would depend upon your luggage.
