I received a response from King County Parks to my request for more information and to find a suitable detour regarding the upcoming East Lake Sammamish Trail closure from May thru late fall. Unfortunately, itโ€™s not looking good.

For context, this trail closure means that the only way one could bike between Issaquah and Redmond is around the west side of Lake Sammamish or climbing into the city of Sammamish for most of the year

Today I ran my #30 #marathon (since 2024) at #Redmond City Marathon #race! Watch time 3:38:33 and chip time is 3:39:xx (result not out yet).Pace 8'20"/mi. Temperature 43F, cloudy w/ wind 2mph S and humidity 83%.

This is my first race of running by HR, and I mostly succeeded: avg/max HR 149/159! The problem in the second half was the opposite to what I wanted to prevent: I couldnโ€™t get my HR high enough due to tired legs and โ€” ahem โ€” a slightly sprained left ankle!

#Redmond is so not beating the allegation that you can distract from fascism with trains.

But seriously, good on everyone out protesting for #nokings today. And also. Yay having better public transit to get outta this place.

Happy new #lightRail day! Waiting in a massive line at Judkins Park to board the #2line from #Seattle to #Redmond. So many people and organizations are here. Awesome spirit. #urbanism #transit #SoundTransit #publictransport

Looking forward to tomorrow, as the Seattle area gets to boast of a world's first... the first light rail line to cross a floating bridge. It's been years in the making, had tons of delays, but tomorrow it finally opens and links Seattle proper to Mercer Island, Bellevue and Redmond. Granted, the segment from South Bellevue station to Downtown Redmond station has been open for a while, as well as the International District/Chinatown station in Seattle, but the Judkins Park and Mercer Island stations are all new. The tracks cross the Homer M Hadley Memorial Floating Bridge, which besides carrying the tracks carries the westbound lanes of Interstate 90 from Mercer Island to Seattle. The ribbon cutting is at Sam Smith Park, just across from the eastern entrance of the Judkins Park station, and that's at 9:00 AM. Service begins at 10:00 AM. https://seattletransitblog.com/2026/03/27/a-sneak-peek-at-the-crosslake-connection/ #Seattle #MercerIsland #Bellevue #Redmond #SoundTransit #LinkLightRail #LinkLine2 #PublicTransit #GrandOpening #WorldsFirst
