Cowen & Ravenna Parks are about 15 minutes north of downtown Seattle - the gathering circle meets at Cowen Park then processes through the ravine to Ravenna Park. Some participants find it better to park in the lot for Ravenna Park (or on legal side streets) then walk through the ravine to the opening circle. This way, you can leave your potluck dish, etc. in the car and have it nearby for the picnic/maypole festivities, and for your departure. Here are directions to the Ravenna Park parking lot:
