2024 Summer Schedule for Bicycle Weekends on Lake Washington Boulevard 

*Correction: Blog post updated 5/1. Weekend dates in an earlier version of this blog post were meant to match the previous year’s dates and are now correctly updated below. This time change correctly reflects the call for Bicycle Weekends to be more predictable, consistent, and to reduce the impacts on evening and morning commutes.  We apologize for any confusion. 
 
On scheduled weekends from May to September, a portion of Lake Washington Boulevard will be closed to motorized vehicles from 10 a.m. Saturday to 6 p.m. Sunday.  

“Seattle Parks and Recreation invites everyone in the community to bike, jog or stroll along the boulevard between the Seward Park entrance and Mount Baker Park’s beach during these times and to opt outside for health, recreation and fun!” said AP Diaz, Superintendent of Seattle Parks and Recreation, “and ask that drivers be cautious of pedestrians and obey all signage during the closures.”   

Local access: People driving to homes along the boulevard because they live there, are visiting, or making deliveries are allowed from the nearest cross street.  

Parking lots are open and will be accessible from the nearest cross street (see parking details and map below).
