Update - Rail removal from Kirkland to Woodinville almost complete

King County Parks is almost finished with removing railroad rails to make way for 2.5 miles of new Eastrail that will connect Kirkland to Woodinville (View Map). Rail removal will finish this month, with trail construction complete by the end of summer 2021. 

Rail removal construction.

This new Eastrail section will continue north from the end of the Cross Kirkland Corridor to NE 145^th in Woodinville near the Chateau Ste. Michelle winery. A new trail crossing at NE 145^th will be built by the City of Woodinville allowing connections to the Sammamish River Trail.
