KUOW: Hike of the Week- Poo Poo Point

Updated 12-23-2011
Poo Poo Point
This is just several miles south of Issaquah. Driest day on a relative basis will be Friday (12-23) and Saturday (12-24) probably afternoon. Mostly cloudy this weekend so views will be somewhat limited. Rumor has it that "poo poo” sound made by loggers' steam whistles.

Directions to Trail:Take I-90 to Issaquah, take Front Street exit. Follow Front Street through town for about 3 miles. Front street becomes Hobart-Issaquah Road. If you are driving south the trailhead is on the left (east side of the street) near a big grass field.
Trail stats: 4 miles round trip with about 2000 foot gain
