While visiting the Auburn area---I rode this trail on 7/17/10 from Foster Park north until it became the "River Trail" (I would guess it is the Green River Trail) just north of The 405. While the scenery north of Foster Park is industrial with a few major street crossings I thought it was a nice trail. I rode back to Foster Park and headed south and when the trees or buildings did not block the view---there was The Mountain in all it's glory. The sweet peas were in bloom, which made a great pix of both. Very nice. The Trail south of Algona to Pacific needs some TLC. lots of gaps in the asphalt with weeds growing through. Still a nice ride. Disappointingly, the Green River Trail (not a RtT, hence not listed here) from Foster Park is closed with giant sand bags. I knew about this before the ride, and it seems the city of Kent is the only city which has chosen to close the trail by putting the sandbags in the middle of the trail, vs the river side of the trail. Enjoy the Ride.

Well maintained and a great commuter trail with vistas of the Cascade foothills and Mt. Rainer. Mostly follows the utility 'right of way' underneath electrical high tension lines. Also, passes through a railroad switch-yard with 'automated' switching engines, be careful !

You cannot go from Alki to Interurban...you have about a 2 mile split with no direction on which way to go
