Burke-Gilman Trail — Saturday, Oct. 1, 2022

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area
No cars!

520 floating bridge is closed to traffic this weekend but the bike/pedestrian path is open. What a treat to cross the bridge without traffic noise. 

We biked from Medina to the Chittenden locks. Lots of interesting things to see and people watching along the way. Protected path almost the entire way except of course for the 1.5 mile "Missing Link" in Ballard. The city of Seattle has been trying to complete this segment for many years but unfortunately the local industries have fought it with endless court battles. It will be nice when they finally complete it.

21 mile RT
