The Interurban Trail is a rail trailinSnohomish County, Washington. It is a hard-surfaced, non-motorized trail located on the Pacific Northwest Traction right-of-way, a route used until 1939 by the Interurban Railroad between Seattle and Bellingham.[1] The trail in Snohomish County runs over 16 miles (26 km).[2]

Route

[edit]

From north to south, the trail takes the following route:

History

[edit]

In 1910, The Seattle-Everett Interurban Railway began electric passenger service. After the railway was abandoned in 1939, it was converted to a power line corridor. In the 1990s, the right-of-way was opened to pedestrian and bicycle traffic.[8]

Interurban Car 55 is a restored trolley from this route, and is located at Heritage Park, east of Interstate 5 on Poplar Way in Lynnwood next to The Wickers Building, which is now the Transportation Museum. The building was originally located along the rail line and includes an exhibit on its history.[9]

Administration

[edit]

The trail is administered in three sections - Snohomish County, Everett, and Lynnwood. The Snohomish County PUD administers the section from Everett to Lynnwood.[10] From 212th Street SW to 228th Street SW is administered by Mountlake Terrace,[7] and the remainder to the King County Line is administered by the city of Edmonds.[11]

Future alignments

[edit]

On the northern portion of the trail, an overpass over Interstate 5 near 128th Street and an extension into downtown Everett was proposed.[10]
