“I like the calming effect of a walk after a meal.” - Sheila Prusa
“There are always small flowers, turtles on logs, or hidden trails and treasures to find around the UW campus and Washington Arboretum on my almost daily fields trips in breathing the fresh air.” - Shelley Hartnett
“I love spending time with my walking companions (most often my husband, Jim, my dog, Pogo, or my older son, David); and I feel grateful that, at age 65, my body still works well enough to get around on foot!” - Ruth Beardsley
“The thing I like most about walking is listening to the birds sing, the hiss of the wind in the branches and watching the ribbon of fire over Lake Washington when the sun comes up.” - Leslie Zeman
“I love that in Seattle there are so many beautiful parks to walk in. The fresh air and beautiful scenery beat the gym any day.” - Heather Elise Murphy
“I can meet with a lot of interesting things that I may otherwise lose the chance and it is OK to stay as long as I like if I walk.” - Xin Yi
“As a nature enthusiast and active member of the National Audubon Society I appreciate the abundant birding and other wildlife viewing opportunities encountered during time spent walking for recreation. Whether it’s a half hour in the morning heading to the bus stop or several hours exploring a new park during the weekend, there never fails to be a certain delight of flora or fauna just waiting to be discovered around the next bend of the path. Furthermore, walking provides a tremendous health benefit affording not only physical exercise but it also serves as a tranquil invitation to the peace of deep reflection, introspection and meditation. For me, walking is a fundamental part of existence.” - Elizabeth Sims
“Wish all my walks could be in such a scenic setting! The next best thing is walking down Rainier Vista on a sunny day, looking at the fountain, with Mt. Rainier visible in the distance. I work both at the UW Medical Center and the clinics on Roosevelt, and I love to walk back and forth, time and weather permitting. It’s a great way to get exercise and to refocus and to enjoy the beautiful scenery.” - Greta Hewitt
