Field Trip Directions

Field trips occur during the normal lab time from 2:30-4:20PM. You need to get there on your own. Try and carpool or enjoy the bus/bike/walk. Everyone should try to be their best to be at the site by 2:30PM. Fieldtrip happen rain or shine.

If you can't be there during this time we will reenact the field trip Friday morn at 8:30, again at Magnuson park.

Magnuson Park

The section of Magnuson Park we will be touring is located off NE 65^th Street just east of Sandpoint Way NE.  See map link in the table above.

Car/Motorcycle/Scooter:

From UW head east on NE 45^th Street past University Village to the big  5 way intersection with Mary Gates Drive (the road to CUH)  on your right and the Tullys and Kinkos on your left. Proceed forward through the intersection. The road will curve north and become Sandpoint Way NE. When you get to the lighted intersection of NE 65^th Street and Sandpoint Way NE turn right (east) onto NE 65^th Street. Proceed past the derelict buildings on your left and the USGS/Fisheries buildings on your right down to the intersection where there are two parking areas ahead of you, one on the left and another on the right. Park in the big one on the right.  Hopefully youll see us there. If you arrive late look for us in the butterfly garden, maybe pulling noxious weeds, or walking the loop of Promitory Point.

Meadowbrook Pond

The entrance into the Meadowbrook Pond site is at 35^th Ave NE and NE 107^th Street. NE 107^th Street does not actually intersect at that spot however there is a street sign there and a crosswalk going from the Meadowbrook Community Center parking lot to the park entrance.
