Talks Underway To Turn Old Rail Line Into Trail
18 May 2005 - 12:00pm
King County and the BNSF Railway in Seattle have begun negotiations to build 47-mile 'super-trail' over existing rail line.
"The new trail, besides being a potential boon for recreationists, would almost certainly attract tourists, county planners say. The corridor would connect with the Sammamish River Trail, which in turn links to the Burke-Gilman. It would also tie into the Centennial Trail, which now runs from Snohomish to Arlington.When the trails are complete, an uninterrupted route could be possible from Renton to Skagit County."
