you'll need a car for all of these spots as none of them are in the city. actually, all of those are deep and require some "local" knowledge on getting too.
where you coming from?
-
Yeah we are planning on driving to seattle, so the car situation is taking care of.. Well be coming from Salt Lake area.. But if you know any info, or you wanna message me that would be awesome!
thanks!
-
35th North Skateshop is my favorite shop up here
-
Thanks man! I will hit them for sure!!
-
first spot is in duvall, second spot in everett. they're both a ways off from seattle.
-
I thought the 3rd spot was in Everett. And the second was in some town past Everett. Like Muckletieo or something.
-
I have no clue where the 3rd spot is, but I know that the 2nd spot is at the border of Everett and another city, but that's all I know so it's safe to just say Everett.
-
Wallride spot is in everett. Not too hard to find.
Coming to washington in april is a crap shoot.Seriously reconsider heading here closer to may if you can.
Expect rough ground and needing to drive to most spots but also enjoying some down to earth people for the most part.
And if you get bored there are a ton of fun parks to hit up.
-
Seattle is really fun, didn't street skate much last time I was there, but I went to Marginal Way three summers in a row. It was great to see their progress. that new space needle park is way too small to be where it is but it was fun.
-
If you're coming in April you'll be just in time for 4/20
-
Thanks everyone for the fee back, this gives me a better feel of how to approach this trip.. I def want check out the skate parks too!!
for the first spot is it at a school or park?
for the second spot do you know the name of the park or roads to work off of?
also for the three spot is it downtown in everett? intersection would be wonderful!!
One more thing-
I heard this spot was in Bellevue, I was wondering if its still skateable?
Thank you I really do appreciated it!!

The qp is still skateable.If you went to the bellevue plaza http://bellevueskatepark.blogspot.com/ (http://bellevueskatepark.blogspot.com/) and made friends all those spots would be easily guided to as theyre all common spots. The qp spot is fun but only a small section is really skateable and you kind of need a sign.Stoked someone is this hyped on skating washington.
-
That's a good idea!! I hear the bellevue plaza looks sick too!

Yo man if your rolling through Washington, you might want to check out the Wenatchee Valley/Leavenworth Area. It's about three hours from Seattle, plus there are a ton of towns with skateparks between here and Seattle. 2 free outdoor parks in the wenatchee valley plus an indoor one plus tons of street spots, some within 30 seconds of the parks. Leavenworth is like 20 minutes away and has a gnarly park http://www.northwestskater.com/leavenworth.html (http://www.northwestskater.com/leavenworth.html)
-
^ You forgot to mention that Leavenworth is a Bavarian-themed town. Had no idea about the park there or in Wenatchee. Looks like a trip east could be worth.
Plus, Yakima in south-central Washington has a bad ass park too. It was in the second Beauty and the Beast.
-
Yeah I think my friends will be pretty hype on the skate park in washington! I def look into Wenatchee Valley..
-
Let me know if your rollin through yo.
And yeah Yakima has like 2 or 3 good parks.
Heres a link to some shit about wenatchee outdoor parks.
http://www.genesbmx.com/WenatcheeSkatePark.html\ (http://www.genesbmx.com/WenatcheeSkatePark.html\)
heres the indoor one
http://www.revolutionsnowandskate.com/indoor_skatepark.php (http://www.revolutionsnowandskate.com/indoor_skatepark.php)
Don't let the prices scare you it's like $3 to skate for as long as you want. Alot of douchy little kids hang out in there though.
-
Yakima park is my favorite park hands down.It is deep though.
Generally speaking of you're in seattle staying along the i-5 corridor is easiest and has the most spots/parks per square mile.
-
Don't forget yer flannel.

moving to Seattle in like week, pretty stoked. i'm a park rat so i'll probably be skating greenlake, shoreline, and bellevue plaza pretty often(when it doesn't rain that is)
anyone wanna suggest key spots to hit up within the city? i mainly wanna know where the foundation is that everyone skates, locals may know what im talking about
and also how is public transport when it comes to going out to the suburbs? like is there an easy way to get to bellevue/tacoma/etc

If you are thinking of the foundation with the drag out ledge and other ledges, then that is in Everett. As far as public trasportation goes, it is pretty easy to get around. Just cruising around downtown seattle is really fun. If you havent already seen it, purchase this year's All City Showdown. Really good.

The best city in Washington is Yakima. No opinion, just fact.

Yeah if you enjoy gangs and being gang raped

And bizarre meth addicts who can skate the gnarliest jersey barriers like they're a mellow bank.
-
Yakima skatepark seems amazing, if I end up going on this trip to Portland that i've been wanting to do, i'm thinking of hitting that park up on the way back. Easily one of the best looking skateparks my eyes have been fortunate enough to seen through the screen of a computer monitor.
-
It is pretty damn amazing and well worth the drive, just plan ahead as it is a ways out there.
-
Yeah I'm aware that it is a little ways off the normally direct route of Seattle to Portland, but it seems to me that it's well worth it.

Going to be in Seattle Friday afternoon and all day this Saturday March 4th and 5th. Whats my best bet just hit up a couple inner space sessions? I'm trying to see a lot of the city too because its a trip with intent to move in about a month. So i wanna check the city and get some skating in as well. If any residents could throw me some suggestions of what so skate and what to check out/where to party?
-
As far as innerspace goes it'll probably be packed on the weekend though if it's raining which probably will happen. The mini ramp is oh so fun, so you can definitely get yourself a good session on it if mini ramp skating is your thing. Shit I may even be down there on sunday to skate around for a bit.
-
Innerspace may be my only option the friend i am staying with is working all day Saturday. So, ill be in capital hill with no car. We might go to some park in renton on friday if we have time i guess
-
see you there...
-
Make the trek to anacortes and suck big philly elvrums dick

Bump. Heading to Seattle soon with nothing but a skateboard and a bus pass. Marginal Way might be the focal point. What are some must-see spots that are in skating/bus distance to the area?
-
you might be able to catch a few street signs in this..

+ 1. i live here and am pretty tired of not having anyone to skate with :(

Also in Seattle amigo...let's start a book/skateboard club...and a band.
-
I was just in Seattle for a couple days & this spot was one of the most amazingly fun things I've ever skated.
Hamlin Robinson school. Never seen it in a video that I can remember, but it's obviously been skated.

-

If you needed further help with spots the S Ledges definatley a good one as stated above. It is at Thea Foss Park on the water front pretty close to downtown. http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM3BGN (http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM3BGN)
-
Thanks. I'll check those spots out this weekend. What's on 35th?
-
35th is one of the few legit shops in the area. them, goods, and black market are the only ones worth supporting.
-
Oh, you mean 35th North skate shop. Yeah, I've been to the shop and to Goods as well. I definitely really like 35th North a lot. I've been meaning to check out Black Market too.
-

i think he means 35th (the original) in federal way. no idea why he thinks 35th north and north end aren't worth supporting, they're legit as fuck
-
when i said "35th" i meant all of them. i live in sodo, and i've never actually been to north end, but i hear good things. they just kinda fell off my radar.

If you live in Tacoma then it would be easier to go there.

Is U-Dub still fairly easy to skate? I was there four or five years ago and I was only told to leave the campus once. I'm told it's pretty shut down and useless to try and skate now.
-

yeah, skating around campus can be pretty easy to skate. it really depends on where you go. red square is definately still skateable, ive never been kicked out. as long as you dont spend too long at each spot you could cruise around campus for a good while without getting hastled. a good deal of the spots in udub to are not actually on campus too, just around in the streets.

yo anybody in WA know Isaiah Chantorn? Hung out with him a few times over here in Thailand

-

-
Yo - Got a trip booked to Seattle in the beginning of September.
I'm going to be staying in Capital Hill - the neighborhood looks like it's got plenty of nice restaurants.
Any things i should see/do/eat while in town? Thanks for the help.
-
Skate the brand new jefferson skatepark/amazing bowl on top of beacon hill.
-
Ballard Bowl!
-
yeah skate beacon for sure. its spectacular. if your looking for a skate shop in capitall hill, both 35th north and alive and well are around there.
-
Thank you for the replies, guys - can't wait.
-
Yeah Beacons great, and the Emerica dudes killed it when they were there. Also check out Greenlake near gasworks park, it's a little farther but seriously worth it. Seaskates never too bad either,
