Greenway Plan
Planning for the Mountains to Sound Greenway helped create a scenic greenway corridor, from the shores of Puget Sound, across Lake Washington, and over the Cascade Mountains to the Ponderosa Forests and Prairies of Eastern Washington.
This broad corridor connects State Parks, National Forest Areas, Wilderness Areas, The Cedar River Watershed, The Middle Fork Snoqualmie River Valley, privately owned timber land and municipalities – preserving multi-purpose scenic and working landscapes and providing recreational access for future generations.
