SEATTLE MENNONITE CHURCH
3120 NE 125 th , Seattle WA 98125

How to avoid heavy traffic and some hills (if you're lucky!) Attendees of Seattle Mennonite Church are encouraged to try biking or using alternative transportation (that is, not their cars) on the third Sunday of every month.

From Ballard
Join 8th Ave NW heading North somewhere between the Burke Gilman train and NW 90th street.  Once you reach NW 90th St., turn Right and follow this until Wallingford Ave N.  Turn Left on Wallingford and after 2 blocks turn right on N 92nd St.  After crossing over I-5, turn Left on 1st Ave NE.  Ride North until NE 103rd St and turn right.  Turn Left on 8th Ave NE followed by a right on NE 105th after 2 blocks.  Take another left on Roosevelt Way NE and ride to NE 125th.  Turn right on 125th and ride to SMC.

From South Seattle
Depending on which is closer, take either Lake WA Blvd or M.L.King Way until Madison.  Follow Madison until you reach the Arboretum. The Arboretum has several trails passing through and all lead you to the Montlake Bridge. Cross the Montlake Bridge. If you'd like to take a car-free trail most of the way to church, read on.  Otherwise, follow U-District directions.  Once you've joined with the Burke Gilman trail, start heading Northeast.  Take the Burke Gilman trail until Sand Point WY NE, turn left on NE 125th St and arrive at SMC.

From U-District
Join Brooklyn heading North somewhere between the Burke Gilman trail and Ravenna.  Ride on Brooklyn until you reach Ravenna Blvd and turn right.  Turn Left on 20th Ave NE and travel to NE 77th. Turn Right on 77th and travel for 2 blocks before merging left onto Ravenna. Take Ravenna to 110th and turn right.  Turn left on 35th Ave NE and ride until 125th. Turn Left on 125th and arrive at SMC.

Alternate Route (from U-District)
Take the Burke-Gilman to 35th (just past U-Village) and then head North on 35th. Very simple and you don't have to remember all the streets. This isn't the best route on the way back since 35th is very steep.

From Capitol Hill
Join either 15th or Broadway North (merges into 10th Ave E) past Volunteer Park. If you are on 15th, follow that until it turns into Boston and you can turn right on 10th Ave E.  Take 10th Ave E. to Roanoke and turn Left.  Take an immediate right on Harvard. Ride on Harvard until there's a soft right onto Eastlake and head across the Univ Bridge.  Follow U-District directions.
