Rattlesnake Mountain is one of the most accessible and popular recreation areas in the Greenway landscape. In just a short drive from Seattle, people can find meandering trails through second growth forest and sweeping views of the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River Valley, making Rattlesnake a well used mountain.

In 1992 and 1993, the Greenway Trust worked to acquire the land into public ownership (the mountain area was previously mostly privately owned). This area is now managed by Washington State Department of Natural Resources and the City of Seattle. Since then, use of the trail has expanded exponentially, and the trail system needs a lot of support. Volunteers have worked to maintain the quality of this natural area by removing invasive plants in addition to improving and maintaining the trail.

During this event, volunteers will work to improve drainage and tread surface with the Greenway Trust.

No experience necessary – all training provided. Please sign the e-waiver prior to the event.
