From our friends at WABI Burien:

There are a couple of small waterfalls on Miller Creek in Burien. If you haven’t discovered them, come join the Walk-n-Talk, this Sunday, Dec. 7, 2025.

Due to the new roadway interchanges on SW 160th Street, just east of Trader Joe’s, it’s no longer safe for us to walk from the store eastward to Des Moines Memorial Way, so our previous Waterfall Walking Route has been revised. (See new map below.)

Date and Time: Dec. 7. Meet at 2:00, start walking at 2:15 p.m. (Rain or shine.)
Place: Meet on the south side of Trader Joe’s, at 5 Corners Shopping Center. 15868 1st Ave S, Burien, Washington 98148
Route: From Trader Joe’s, walk west along SW. 160th to 1st Ave., then cross south to walk along Ambaum Blvd. S. Left on S. 171st, then left on Des Moines Memorial Drive S. We’ll pass under 509 to view the first waterfall, then pass back under 509 and take a right on S. 165th St. We’ll walk a couple of blocks and take a right down the small hill at 4th Ave. S. At the end of the cul-de-sac, we’ll view the second waterfall.
We’ll go back up the hill and head right, through the neighborhood, back to Ambaum and 5 Corners. The route is mostly flat, but includes some gently sloping areas. There are sidewalks for part of the route only.
Who: This is a free event open to all walkers and friendly four-leggeders.
Distance: About 2.5 miles round trip.
