I had a blast today attempting to bike the route taken by the historic Seattle-Everett Interurban Railway from its original start at the former Shirley Hotel in downtown Seattle to the old Everett depot. I also saw some related goodies like one of the original Interurban train cars.

Biking & history are the best!

@bobco85 I didn't know there was an original Interurban car that could be visited! Where is it located?

I hope you had a good ride!

@marsiposa it’s really cool, and I learned about it when I was planning this ride (will make a video eventually)! It’s at Heritage Park in Lynnwood.

@bobco85 thank you! My kid is telling me he had read about it in a book about the Interurban Tram, but he didn't know it was still there. Very cool, we'll have to visit it 🙂

@bobco85 Didn´t know there were any surviving cars. Where is that on display?

@14mission it’s at Heritage Park in Lynnwood. Apparently it went through a few jobs over the years after the railway closed in 1939 like being used as a diner, then ticket booth, left in storage, and eventually restored and put on display in its current home
