Why this plan works

The 3 stops cover about 5.1 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Seattle instead of crossing town between them. Discovery Park is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at Myrtle Edwards Park — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to solo and friends who want a planned Seattle outing without improvising between stops.
