Solstice Park

This Seattle stairs route, like the Fauntleroy and Morgan Junction stairway walk in the book, takes place in the Fauntleroy neighborhood of West Seattle. It's considerably shorter though, at just over a mile long. The loop turns back toward the starting place at Solstice Park, which features a massive astronomical construction of stone and earth - West Seattle's Stonehenge. For some interesting information and history about this very cool little park, check out the Seattle Parks link here.
