Burien’s first-ever ‘Walk-n-Talk,’ will start this Sunday, Aug. 7th, beginning at 2 p.m. at Town Square, then continue the first Sunday of every month.
Meant to inspire locals to meet up, then walk and talk while enjoying the sights of Burien, as well as local businesses or whatever else participants encounter, this is another new, innovative, artist-inspired idea.
“Put on your comfy shoes and come for a casual Walk-n-Talk with friends and neighbors,” reads a press release. “On the first Sunday of every month, meet up at Burien Town Square with friends, old and new. Enjoy conversations and a walk through town. Grab a local coffee or snack before or after your stroll.”
WHAT: Burien’s first-ever ‘Walk N Talk’ begins this Sunday, Aug. 7th.
WHEN: First Sunday of every month; meet at 2 p.m., then start walking at 2:15 p.m.
WHERE: Start at Burien Town Square; then take a 2.25 mile loop around Lake Burien and back to Town Square.
