do you work downtown?

it’s so important to show our customers that we have plenty of parking!

MAC (Moses Lake Museum & Art Center) .....................401 S. Balsam St. to Attic Shops on Alder = .1 miles or 211 steps to Third & Alder Salon = .2 miles or 422 steps to Mason’s Place = .2 miles or 482 steps to Red Door Café = .3 miles or 633 steps to Synergy Wellness = .3 miles or 663 steps to Michael’s Marke & Bistro = .4 miles or 844 steps to J’s Teriyaki = .2 miles or 422 steps or go even further…to Duda Insurance = .7 miles or 1,478 steps

Maybe you have heard the recent guidelines about walking 10,000 steps per day. How far is 10,000 steps anyway? The average person’s stride length is approximately 2.5 feet long. That means it takes just over 2,000 steps to walk one mile, and 10,000 steps is close to 5 miles. There are many ways to increase your daily steps.

The best way of doing this is by NOT parking in front of your business. The map above shows the public parking lots, some

buildings even have parking behind the building.
