Is This Walkable? East Falls church Metro to Kaiser Permanente in Falls Church (Washington: neighborhood)

The map shows it is only a mile. I have no idea if these are busy streets with no sidewalks or if this is a bad neighborhood. I will have children with me, so feedback would be very helpful. Thanks

ETA: Kaiser is located at 201 N. Washington St.

The neighborhood isn't bad, but Lee Highway (aka Washington St.) is extremely busy. If I were you, I would take the GEORGE bus. The east route makes a loop from the EFC Metro, and goes down Washington St. - it's about a 14 minute ride to your destination (the stop at Washington and Park). Here is the schedule and route map. It's $1.35 cash (or $1.25 with SmarTrip).

It's walkable.

Head south on N. Sycamore and make a right on 19th which becomes Westmoreland. Then, make a left onto N. Washington.

N. Sycamore is a well traveled road for both pedestrians and cars.

19th st. onto Westmoreland is more residential that becomes commercial.

N. Washington is a wide street for both pedestrians and cars.

Or, you can ride the Metro 2G bus from the EFC Metro that will drop you off near Kaiser.
