This past weekend we unveiled the Eastrail, the new name for the emerging 42-mile multipurpose trail previously known as Eastside Rail Corridor.

The Eastrail name evokes its rail history and its trail future. The new tagline, “Let’s Connect,” reflects the vision of the corridor to better connect Eastside communities with an uninterrupted, non-motorized trail.

Check out the Eastrail’s new website.

At the celebration in Redmond a new nonprofit partner, Eastrail Partners, was announced. The Eastrail Partners, includes representatives from local businesses, non-governmental organizations, and community leaders. The partnership’s highest priority recommendation is to establish an uninterrupted trail along the entire corridor while supporting the development of trailside amenities and trail-oriented urban development to better connect Eastrail with surrounding communities.

We look forward to connecting with you this summer on the Eastrail!
