Quick ride by bicycle from White Center to Seattle

This ride takes you from White Center, a vibrant and diverse neighborhood in southwest Seattle, all the way to the heart of Seattle itself. You’ll start in a community packed with tasty eats, unique shops, and a real local vibe before heading north toward the city center.

The route is about 14 kilometers (a little under 9 miles) with a decent mix of cycleways and quiet roads—perfect if you enjoy a balance of smooth cruising and city sights. There are some hills (expect a little climb and some breezy downhill), so get ready for a bit of a workout, but nothing too intense.

Most of your ride will be on paved and asphalt surfaces, and you’ll pass through different Seattle neighborhoods, each with its own character. As you roll into downtown Seattle, you’ll be greeted by iconic sights like the Space Needle and the bustling Pike Place Market—great spots to grab a coffee and soak in the city vibe.

Overall, it’s a fun, urban ride—great for anyone looking to explore Seattle from a local’s perspective!
