The Interurban Trail of metropolitan Seattle, Washington runs about 30 miles from north Seattle to Everett, Washington, roughly following the route of an old inter-urban trolley. Parts of the trail are under construction, and parts are either bike lanes or short sections on residential streets. Note: there are other trails in the area that are also called Interurban Trail, unfortunately not connected with this trail.

The signage really sucks. Especially bad
is at the spot where trail crosses 40th leaving the alderwood parkway. There are two signs but no arrows on the signs so it is very hard to follow.
would like a printabe version of this map!
How about just printing this entire page?
Here’s another idea: If you are on Windows, you can use Control-Print Screen to take a screen shot, then open up Paint, do Control-V to paste in the screen shot, and edit until it is the right size/shape. I don’t know the corresponding screen shot command on other computers, but something like this should work.
Keep in mind that this map is not all that precise…

Hmmm… I see that in Firefox, the line doesn’t print. It seems to work fine in IE though (cough cough). That is apparently a Google Maps bug, so there is not much I can do about it, sorry!
Anyway, try the screen shot method.

Need to commute south on this trail to downtown Seattle. Are there any suggested or tried & true ways to bike commute after the S end of this trail? Keegan
Yes - actually, we live near this trail and Zach commutes to work this way every day:
- Note that at 145th, you will need to cross the street and continue South on Linden until you come to the Seattle section of the trail.
- When you get to the south end of the trail (110th), turn right and proceed a few blocks to Dayton Ave N.
- Go south on Dayton as far as 84th - it has lights at all major intersections and is a fairly quiet street
- Turn right on 84th (or you can use 83rd too)
- Turn left at Greenwood Ave N, which has a bike lane
- Continue on Greenwood, which turns into Phinney a bit south of 65th. At 50th, do an S curve to the right to continue on Phinney.
- Turn left on 45th, and go a few blocks east to Fremont Ave N
- Go down the hill, continue across the Fremont Bridge
- Angle onto Dexter, which has a bike lane that takes you pretty much downtown
Enjoy! This is a pretty good route. Some variations are possible… you might also want to get the City of Seattle Bicycling Map, which has other route suggestions. Though some of their suggestions ignore the fact that it’s often difficult to cross major streets without a light!
