Issaquah-High Pt Regional Trai Connector

Status
Funded in 2006
WWRP Applicant: City of Issaquah WWRP Category: Trails WWRP Grant: $108,924 Applicant Match: $229,980 Project Type: Development County: King  Legislative District: 5th 

Issaquah will use this grant to build a 1-mile, muliple-use trail, filling a missing link in the Interstate-90 cross-state trail and two regional trails--the Issaquah-High Point and East Lake Sammamish regional trails. Known as the Issaquah Gap, this trail segment will serve non-motorized trail users from Seattle, Bellevue, Issaquah, Redmond, and Sammamish and will fill one of the six identified gaps in the Interstate-90 Trail and the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trails System that begins at the Seattle waterfront and follows the freeway across the Cascade Mountains to the Columbia River. This missing link is between the new Sunset Interchange (Exit 18) on Interstate-90 and Gilman Boulevard in Issaquah. The trail's proposed design sets it as a paved trail, a minimum of 10 feet wide with 2-foot-wide graveled shoulders.

RCO Project Number: 04-1101

Location

From I-90, take Exit #18 (Highlands Drive/E. Sunset Way); turn west onto E. Sunset Way; travel about 1/4 mile and park on the street. Walk back up on the south side of the street to the interchange, cross the interchange on the pedestrian trail to the pedestrian tunnel under Highlands Drive; turn left (south) and you will be at the start of the trail project.
