Interurban Trail Trailhead
- Status
- Funded in 2003
The city of Milton, in southern King County, seeks to acquire 1.8 acres for a trailhead for public access to the Milton portion of the Interurban Trail. This parcel sits at the edge of the city limits on its busiest road, State Route 161, also known as Enchanted Village Parkway and Meridian, and is an excellent location for a trailhead, including parking. Current trail access is through local neighborhoods, which can cause unnecessary neighborhood congestion. This section of the old Puget Sound Electric Railway right-of-way provides incredible scenic vistas of the Fife Valley, several mountain ranges, and access to Sweetwater Creek. It will link to the surrounding communities of Edgewood and Fife, and will further the vision established over a decade ago to maintain open space linkages between Puget Sound communities. When complete, this project will be a critical link to some 36 miles of a non-motorized sightseeing and recreation trail corridor that extends from Tacoma to Seattle. Integral to the preservation of the trail itself is the provision of logical, accessible, public entry points such as this trailhead.
