Driving Directions

From I-90 eastbound, take exit 15. Turn left on NW 17th. Continue on as rd becomes NW Sammamish Rd (road bends to the right). You’ll pass the parking lot on your left, but you will have to continue down the road in order to turn around. Make a U-turn left at 10th Ave into the Animal Hospital parking lot (or right into the Pickering Shopping Complex) to turn around. Heading back the way you came on NW Sammamish, turn right into the small soccer field parking lot.

Look for Greenway Event signs.
