Friday Night Races: Try something new this summer and check out the Friday Night Track Racing (“The Show”) at the Marymoor Velodrome.

A New Regional Trail is in the Works!

The trail in the Eastside Rail Corridor will eventually connect Renton, Bellevue, Kirkland, Woodinville, and Redmond. The trail will serve the region’s non-motorized transportation needs and provide new outlets for recreation. All King County residents, potential trail users and other interested individuals can help shape the future of this trail by attending one of the community meetings in either Renton on June 23 or in Bellevue on June 25. Check out the news release and take the survey.
