Explore the Greenway

1.5 million acres.  The Yakima River basin upstream of Ellensburg.  The Snoqualmie and Lake Washington watersheds in King County.  28 thriving cities.  900,000 acres of public land.  100% of the City of Seattle’s drinking water.  1,600 miles of trails.  108,000 acres of conserved working lands in agriculture or forestry.

One Greenway.

We don’t have to go far to explore, adventure, work, and play!

The STAR (Points of Interest) highlights places in the Greenway that we think you should get out and visit. Whether it's a lesser-known park, historic site, or museum, there's much to explore in the Greenway.

The SHOE PRINT (Outdoor Recreation) highlights the many, and ever expanding, list of trails you can find within the Greenway. As we continue to develop our new website this will continue to grow and include all of the hidden spots where you can enjoy hiking, biking, horseback riding, boating, climbing, fishing, camping, and much more.

The CALENDAR (Events) highlights just some of the many wonderful festivals and events that occur within the Greenway throughout the year. Be sure to visit the Mountains to Sound Greenway 365 calendar for a full list of events and activities.

The SHOVEL (Volunteer Opportunities) highlights all of our upcoming volunteer opportunities. You can help pot and maintain plants in our native plant nursery, maintain and construct trails, or restore lands by either removing invasive or planting native plants. Register yourself or your group for one of our fun volunteer events and make a difference in the Greenway!

The THUMBS UP icon (Day in the Greenway Itineraries) is your gateway to creating your own outing based on your interests and geographic location in the Greenway. Going to be in a certain area of the Greenway and looking for things to do? Click the icon in that area to find out more about opportunities for recreation, heritage, arts, culture and more. Your own Greenway adventure awaits you!
