Jake Jaramillo in 1, Cowen Park, North Seattle, Ravenna, Ravenna Creek, Ravenna Park

Ravenna's quiet backstreets and stairways combine with its namesake ravine for a pleasant, refreshing tour of Seattle stairs. In addition to the main route described in detail in the book, you can check out extra attractions like "Professor's Row" on Ravenna Boulevard, or the optional walk to Cowen Park at the head of the ravine (Cowen Park Grocery has a cafe on the side, with great pastries and coffee).

The "www" icon indicates a slideshow of additional pictorial content referenced in the book. 

Ravenna Ravine: nature right in the middle of the city!

 

Your first stairway heads up from the back of a P-Patch
