Cycling day trip from Seattle to Shoreline

Kick off your cycling adventure in the vibrant city of Seattle, known for its iconic Space Needle and thriving tech scene. As you pedal your way towards Shoreline, enjoy the scenic views and the cool breeze of the Pacific Northwest.

The route is mostly on cycleways and quiet roads, making it a relaxing ride without much hustle from traffic. About 67% of your journey will bless your bike tires with smooth asphalt, ensuring a pretty pleasant ride. You'll have some ups and downs with an ascent of nearly 277 meters and a descent of 209 meters, so prepare for a little bit of a workout.

About halfway through, take a moment to breathe in the evergreen beauty of the surrounding nature, characteristic of this region. With a maximum elevation of 147 meters, you'll be able to enjoy some views along the way.

Once you reach Shoreline—an inviting community just north of Seattle—you'll discover its welcoming parks and waterfront vistas. Celebrate the end of your journey with a leisurely stroll along Richmond Beach or grab a coffee at one of the local cafes. Happy cycling!
