It's nearly a century old and shows it. It may not be the Arenberg Forest, but on a rainy day it's pretty exciting for me. You can also take your life in your hands and dart across the Redmond Fall City road and spend a few minutes continuing east on 50th street, better known as the Happy Valley Road. This narrow old road is as close to a lane in the Ardennes as any road I've seen in the US. The cool thing about both roads is that they lie within a couple of hundred yards of busy suburban arterials. |
cool....I didn't know about this....now I need to go check it out!
There is about a 75 yds of brick road (preserved as a parking lot
) just off the Burke-Gilman / Samammish River Trail arcross from the Wayne Golf Course. IIRC, it was part of the road that ran from Seattle to Everett in the early 20th century....there is a "historical marker" that explains it.....
