Redmond’s portion of the Sammamish River Trail, the  Riverwalk, is just gorgeous.  My interest was piqued by an article in this weekend’s Seattle Times regarding the $10 million dollars worth of improvements and ten years of work done to the trail.  I hadn’t realized how long it’s been since I’ve been over on the Redmond part of the trail, and it is really different and wonderful.  It’s a  peaceful, beautiful, and relaxing walk.  We saw ducks and a blue heron parked on a rock on the river. People were biking on all sorts of bikes, inline skating, using ski poles, walking, walking with baby strollers, wheelchairs.  For me, it was a great way to multi-task: spend time with my husband, my Dad, my dog, get exercise, be outside, enjoy Redmond, and do a blog post!

Check it out, it’s a real asset to the City of Redmond.
