Every weekend from Memorial Day through Labor Day

Seattle Mayor Katie B. Wilson announced today that Lake Washington Boulevard will open for Bicycle Weekends every weekend from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

“Seattle summers are beautiful, and everyone should be able to enjoy them,” said Mayor Katie B. Wilson. “We’re opening Lake Washington Boulevard every weekend to make more space for people to bike, walk, roll, and be outside. This is your city, and it should be easy to get out and enjoy our sunny days.”

Beginning Memorial Day weekend and every weekend through Labor Day, a portion of Lake Washington Boulevard will be closed to motorized vehicles, creating safe, car-free space along the waterfront for people to walk, bike, and roll. The route offers a continuous stretch for biking, jogging, and walking throughout the summer.

On holiday weekends, closures will be extended an additional day to include the holiday:

Monday, May 25 (Memorial Day)
Friday, July 3 (Fourth of July)
Monday, September 7 (Labor Day)

Note: There will be no Bicycle Weekend August 1–2 due to Seafair.
