Legal to ride bikes on sidewalks in Seattle? I know in parts of the US it is illegal for bicyclists to ride their bikes on the sidwalk.  I've been seeing it a lot in Seattle, WA, US and not sure if it's allowed.
It would seem that cycling on the sidwalk in Seattle is legal:


  Section 11.44.120 RIDING ON A SIDEWALK OR PUBLIC PATH.
  Every person
  operating a bicycle upon any sidewalk or public path shall operate the
  same in a careful and prudent manner and a rate of speed no greater
  than is reasonable and proper under the conditions existing at the
  point of operation, taking into account the amount and character of
  pedestrian traffic, grade and width of sidewalk or public path, and
  condition of surface, and shall obey all traffic control devices. 
  Every person operating a bicycle upon a sidewalk or public path shall
  yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian thereon, and shall give an
  audible signal before overtaking and passing any pedestrian.
