I'm staying in the same area as REI (Cascades, S Lake Union?). Starting from this area I'm looking for interesting routes to explore the city. I've walked to the Space Needle down Denny Way. Most of the riders I see on Denny use the sidewalk. My thought for one ride was to head down either Stewart to the Waterfront, or go down either Denny or Mercer on the sidewalk to the Seattle Center and try to find a route to the waterfront. From there we'd ride over toward Ballard Locks.
