Eastrail Maps
The Eastrail now serves as a home for many services that you rely on every day including sewer, power, and internet. It is also the future home of light rail segments.
Trail Sections
Renton
Current Status: 1.5 miles of gravel trail is currently between Gene Coulon Park and the Seahawk’s Virginia Mason Athletic Center.
Future Connections: A new pedestrian-only connection into Gene Coulon Park and eventual a multi-use trail connection to Southport business area (hotels, The Landing, Boeing). [Learn More]
Bellevue
Current Status: In November 2021 2.5 miles of new paved Eastrail were opened just south of I-90 along Lake Washington.
In north Bellevue 1 mile of gravel trail connnects 120th Ave NE in the Spring District to the Cross Kirkland Corridor
Future Connections: King County will construct a fully connected trail though Bellevue, eventually connecting to the Cross Kirkland Corridor. This effort will require several major infrastructure projects, including: I-405 overpass (open 2024), Wilburton Trestle rehabilitation (open 2024), NE 8th Street bridge (open 2023). [Learn More]
Kirkland
Current Status: 5.75 miles of gravel trail through the heart of Kirkland (owned by City of Kirkland)
Future Connections: The Totem Lake Connector will be a bicycle and pedestrian bridge that connects the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC) where it is currently severed by a complex intersection (Construction to be completed in 2022). Kirkland’s Willows Road Regional Trail Connection is one of the key projects that will result in a connected trail from Kirkland to Woodinville in 2022. [Learn More]
Woodinville
Current Status: 2.5 miles of trail connect Kirkland to 145th in Woodinville.
Future Connections: King County Parks and the City of Woodinville partnered to construct a gravel trail from NE 124th to NE 145th in Woodinville. This section opened in the summer of 2022 and includes a new trail crossing at NE 145th and a trail connection between the Eastrail and the Sammamish River Trail.
Redmond
Current Status: The Redmond Central Connector is 2.3 miles of paved trail through Downtown Redmond and continues to the northwest, connecting to the Sammamish River Trail, Redmond/Puget Sound Energy Trail, and through the Willows business district (owned by City of Redmond).
Future Connections: The final phase of the project will extend 1.6 miles north to connect with the Cross Kirkland Corridor and Woodinville across NE 124th Street. In addition, the Redmond Central Connector will connect to the East Lake Sammamish Trail with the construction of Sound Transit’s Blue Line rail project by 2024.
Snohomish County
Current Status: No open sections open yet
Future Connections: Continuing north from Woodinville to the City of Snohomish the Eastrail will connect to the 30- mile long Centennial Trail, which extends to the Skagit County line, as well as the Whitehorse Trail (a 27 mile long corridor with amazing recreational opportunities). Development of this section (owned by Snohomish County) will move forward once funding is secured for final designs and construction. [Learn More]
