I am so happy to be back biking again in Seattle. There are so many different trails to explore and I have been enjoying getting back to all my favorite routes. I have tried biking in many different places in the world (although not as much as I would like to) but I really believe…
Tag: Green River Trail
Update- Green River Trail is OPEN. And it has murals!
The bridge is done and the Riverton Creek is now open for fish. It looks great and I hope this really attracts the salmon. This creek has been just a pipe for so many years, it is really cool to see it look like a creek again. As a bonus, murals have been painted on…
UPDATE- Green River Trail Closure
I rode past the trail closed signs today to take some pictures of what they are doing over Riverton Creek. I originally wrote about the project here. It is a lot of work and I understand what is taking so long. They are making a real bridge over the creek which was originally just a…
Duwamish Trail- Cecil Moses to West Seattle low bridge
This should be the main route from getting from South King County to downtown. Getting through South Park is a little dangerous and there are a couple of other sketchy parts which might be why it isn’t used as much as it should be. King County has to fix the section (Green River North Extension)…

Last year, they closed the trail for several months working on creating a creek bed and preparing for a bridge. Tom from…

Airport Way is currently used by a lot of drivers as an alternative when traffic is bad on I5 and they often drive pretty fast. Many bikers do use this route though and it…
Beacon Hill commute to Kent
In 2018 the last kid left for college and we decided to downsize and move to the city. My wife had been commuting for many years and the freeway from South King County to Seattle was not getting easier. In 2019, my Boeing job was moved from Renton to Kent which was really tough because…
Hello! How I used to go to work :)
Welcome to my new blog! My plan for this is to be focusing on my experiences while biking. Where I go and how I get there. I hear from a lot of people that are surprised that is possible to get around King County on safe bike lanes. Of course, there are many missing…
