With construction moving forward in Bellevue and Kirkland, and a new trail segment now open in Redmond, attention is turning north to the future Eastrail in Woodinville and beyond.

Woodinville Projects Underway

The City of Woodinville has begun design work on its 1.9-mile stretch of Eastrail, which they envision as a linear park through downtown—prioritizing mobility, safety, and placemaking. If you’ve passed through the area recently, you may have noticed the first projects taking shape along the future trail corridor:

  • 133rd Avenue NE Extension and Roundabout – featuring a pedestrian tunnel that will allow trail users to safely pass under several busy lanes of traffic.
  • SR 202 Widening and Trestle Replacement – addressing a major traffic bottleneck while also creating an iconic new trail bridge on the former railroad trestle over SR 202.

The city is in the early design phase for these projects, which will also include public art and a “Pollinator Pathway.” While funding options and phasing strategies are still being explored, we look forward to future updates as Woodinville’s vision for the trail comes to life.

Snohomish County Begins Planning

Just north of Woodinville, Snohomish County has begun planning its 12-mile segment of the Eastrail, known as Centennial Trail South. When completed, this stretch will connect the King County line to the City of Snohomish, where it will link with the existing 30-mile Centennial Trail—extending all the way to the Skagit County line north of Arlington.

Railbanked in 2024, Snohomish County’s segment runs through rural and suburban landscapes, featuring historic railroad drawbridges, sweeping scenic views, and connections to existing trail networks. This work brings the region one step closer to realizing the Leafline Trails Coalition vision.

The County is in the early stages of planning, with a Conceptual Design and Feasibility Study starting in 2026 for completion next year. This study will guide the approach to funding and ultimately constructing the trail in phases.

Eastrail Partners is excited to support Snohomish County as we work together toward a fully connected 42-mile Eastrail.
