Seattle Explorers Guild

A walking adventure through the Emerald City. Each day, students will explore a curated tour of several Seattle neighborhoods and visit their parks, gardens, trails, beaches, architecture, attractions, and places of interest. Students will be asked to photograph their journey and journal about their daily experiences in order to share out with the community upon their return to campus. Students should bring any provisions necessary for an all-day hike. Students are also encouraged to bring money in the event they’d like to engage with local businesses.

Students will leave campus daily at 915AM and use public transportation to access the neighborhoods. Students will return to campus by 320PM for check-out and end-of-day activities.

Below is a list of the neighborhoods that we’ll explore and a few locations/attractions that we can potentially visit. It will be impossible to see everything, and our route will be determined by group interest and time constraints.
