We rode our bikes from Medina over the 520 bridge through University of Washington and then out to Golden Gardens park. The 520 bridge is closed to traffic this weekend but open for bikes and pedestrians. It is a wonderful experience to go across this very scenic bridge without the noise of traffic. The air quality is excellent and you can see the mountains beautifully. It is protected bike path for most of the way except for a section in Ballard. Go all the way to the end of Golden Gardens Park and there's access to a natural section of beach and tidal flats. We were lucky to arrive there close to low tide which was a -1.8. On the way back we stopped at the Ballard seafood festival and had a great salmon lunch and enjoy people watching.
