Then the Centennial Trail that now runs from Snohomish to Arlington though they just started to work on the last section, which will take it all the way to Skagit County.

The White Horse trail that will connect Arlington with Darington is still being worked on. Watch for it in the future.

Did I miss something this summer? I was up and down Rt 9 and doing trail mapping in Arlington and did not see building. Of course, if the trail runs inland, I would not see it. There are some cleared traces to the east of Rt 9, but my map sez - power line, pipe line. It shows the RR up to Darrington and the word is that the county owns the right of way.

Love to have the link up to Skagit. Of course, if Skagit County can't maintain the Cascade Trail, what will they do with a new one? Who has the money these days? Over in Spokane, the Fish Lake looks like it will be a 6 mill tproject - but they are blacktopping another 4.x miles. It will take an overpass to bring in into Fish Lake Trailhead over an active RR line.

I think Snohomish Cty can do it better. More population. More $$. Skagit Parks is a non-mandated agency (funding: bake sales, etc.) The Centennial is a great trail. Arlington would benefit from being at the end of two trails - Centennial and Whitehorse. Why, the Yuppie latte and micro brew sales alone... They need to bring the Centennial into town and eliminate that lethal bit of road gap by the airport.
