Thanks for posting this episode. I found it very interesting learning about the movement in general and the Burke-Gilman in particular since I have ridden it for years but never knew about its genesis. The other local trail covered but not named is the East Sammamish Lake trail. I lived in Sammamish while the lakeside property owners did everything in their power to stop the trail. They spent millions in legal fees to block it, even though the rail right of way was never legally theirs. I spoke at one of the community meetings supporting the trail. I was very happy to see the lake owners and their money go down in flames as the right of way was acquired by the county and turned into the wonderful trail I used three days ago. Thanks again.
