Walking

King County's trail network is a great resource for getting around without a car, but outdated rules limiting access are getting overhauled to allow greater use.

Last week, King County celebrated the start of construction on a $37 million project to upgrade Bellevue's Wilburton Trestle and create one of the most pivotal and scenic spans of the Eastrail. The Eastside walking and biking trail will ultimately stretch 42 miles between Renton and Woodinville.

Melanie LaPlant Dressel Park opened on April 11 as a beautiful park far away from the rest of the city. An elevated, wide ribbon of concrete — the roaring I-705 freeway — separates the park from its users. Tacoma should remove this barrier.

The Seattle Department of Transportation's project delivery is ramping up in 2024. What does that tell us about where the department is heading under a new levy?

People biking, walking, rolling, and driving through the busy intersection of Dexter Avenue and Thomas Street are now interacting in a new way, with protection that research shows cuts down on the risk of collisions.

State highways like SR 900 in Skyway are missing safe places to bike and walk. A mandate to fix that could be expedited by an ambitious $100 million grant that the state is seeking from the EPA.

A long-planned 10th Avenue underpass intended to enable easier walking and biking trips is set to be dropped from one of the state's biggest highway megaprojects as a cost-cutting measure.

Seattle Times columnist Danny Westneat put himself on the case of fixing Downtown Seattle’s Third Avenue by axing its bus mall. There’s just one problem: he has absolutely no idea what he is talking about.
