Trailhead
WTA Pro Tip: Save a copy of our directions before you leave! App-based driving directions aren't always accurate and data connections may be unreliable as you drive to the trailhead.
Glendale Forest is in the North Highline neighborhood, and there is no designated parking area. Please consider taking public transit to the forest.
To enter the forest, head to the intersection of S 102nd Street and 9th Avenue S, which ends at a fenced corner. Enter through the opening in the fence and follow the paved walkway for a short way. The trailhead to the forest will be on your left.
Take King County Metro route 132 to the Des Moines Memorial Dr S & S 99th St stop and walk east along S 99th Street for 0.2 mile until the road takes a sharp left. Continue onto 14th Avenue S to the next intersection and turn right onto S 100th Street. At the next intersection, turn left onto 12th Avenue S. In 0.1 mile, turn right onto S 102nd Street. Walk down S 102nd Street 0.2 mile to the end of the street, and follow the above directions through the fence to reach the trailhead.
Alternatively, take King County Metro route 128 to the S 112th St and 8th Ave S stop. (Please be extra careful if you choose this route, as there is no sidewalk along 8th Ave S, just a shoulder.) Walk north along 8th Ave S for 0.5 mile, then turn right onto S 105th Street. Walk down S 105th Street for a few hundred feet and it will become 9th Avenue S; follow 9th Avenue S to the end of the road (about 0.2 mile) to reach the aforementioned corner.
