Corgis R Us Meet up Annual Event. Put a costume and your corgi and your self (if you dare) and join us in a walk around Green Lake in Seattle.

Meet at the rowing stands in Seattle where hopefully we can get a group picture before the walk starts.

Comment by John Wolff on October 28, 2011 at 4:34pm: I live 1.5 miles from NE Green Lake. Parking can be a problem on a nice weekend, give yourself extra time. This Sunday looks like normal (wet) weather, so it might not be too bad. The SW corner near the rowing stands (a.k.a. Aqua Theater, not to be confused with the Bathhouse Theater) has some additional parking, and you might try parking in lower Woodland Park. The map might help:

Don't let wet weather deter you -- it actually makes for a better weekend day at Green Lake -- on a sunny weekend, it gets quite crowded.

NOTE: The Green Lake Bike Path is actually a ROAD. Stay on the INSIDE lane. The outside lane is for fast movers: bikes, skaters. There are lots of runners. Keep your corgi on a short leash, and keep looking behind, be aware of fast movers. All of the accidents at Green Lake I've seen were caused by "Sunday drivers" blocking the fast lane. Keep your corgi in the inside lane, and no problemo.

While running, I have twice been tripped by an unseen dog leash at twilight. Once, it was a full somersault, luckily nobody hurt.

The Rowing Center is at the SW Corner of the lake.

From I-5 (north or south)

There is ample free parking available.
