Good bridge for Pooh sticks?
Looking for a good bridge to play Pooh sticks, any good ideas? Ideally not too busy or wide river/ stream. (If you don't know the game: you drop sticks on upstream side and see which comes under the bridge first, it's from Winnie the Pooh.)

What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise the Woodinville Pedestrian Bridge for its striking architectural design and vibrant colors, noting it as a beautiful addition to the Sammamish River landscape. It's a popular spot for photography, especially at sunset, and appreciated for its accessibility and convenience as a river crossing. Some caution is advised due to fast-moving cyclists on the adjacent trails.
"I often bike across the Bothell Bridge and am very pleased with the fact that the city made a separate entrance for bikers off the trail. Definitely this bridge stands out for its architectural design and looks very colorful against the backdrop of the river."
Alex Buchanan
"New Bothell Walking Bridge is looking good but is not open yet (as of October 2020). Looking to be a exciting place to walk over the Sammamish River. It will be a treat not having to go all the way the the other end of Bothell to cross the river. The new bridge looks to be much sturdier that the old bridge.
Great photo opportunities look to be opening up on either side of the new bridge. Some of the nice sunsets will be from the north end of the bridge.
Access to the bridge views can be done from both sides of the river. Just watch out for the speeding bicycle racers on the trail."
