Cycling day trip from Shoreline to Seattle

Get ready for a sweet north-to-south ride, starting in Shoreline and rolling all the way into the heart of Seattle! This 22 km route is mostly paved (the majority on smooth asphalt and concrete), so you’re in for a comfy spin. You’ll get some elevation early on—up to about 147 meters—before a nice long gradual descent as you cruise into the city.

You'll spend over half your time on dedicated cycleways and another chunk winding through quiet roads, which makes for a pleasant, low-stress journey. Only a small section cuts through busier streets, so keep your wits about you there.

Starting in suburban Shoreline, you’ll pass by parks and residential neighborhoods before descending into Seattle, finishing downtown near Pike Place Market and the waterfront. It's a great way to see the landscape change from peaceful ‘burbs to the hustle and bustle of one of the Pacific Northwest’s coolest cities. Perfect for commuters or anyone who wants a scenic entry to Seattle!
