Cheer up for this weekend: the annual Orca Half Half marathon takes place in West Seattle and hundreds of runners plan to take part. To be precise, the organizers tell us, around 600 on Saturday and around 350 on Sunday. The Orca Half course starts at Lincoln Park and ends at Don Armeni boat ramp. We have confirmed with the race organizers that no road or lane closures are planned – the runners should stay on the sidewalk / trail. The runners start in waves at 7:30 am; the course closes at 1 p.m.
