The Greater Northshore Bike Route Connector Map (direct link)

Connecting the actively maintained Seattle and 2 Line Eastside bike maps by covering the cities of Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, Bothell, and Woodinville, along with Juanita, northern Kirkland, north Redmond, some unincorporated King County, and southwest Snohomish County communities of Edmonds, Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, Briar, and Maltby.

And the MEGAMAP (direct link)

Combining Greater Northshore, City of Seattle, 2 Line Eastside, and a small piece of King County Regional Trails into a poster-sized high-detail MEGAMAP.

Latest Release 2.0.9 - March 27, 2026

• CORRECTED: Corrections and additions clarifying the Kirkland Avenue route crossing both Eastrail/Central Kirkland Connector and 405. Also removes a 2 Line Eastside map error.
• ADDED: Kirkland Way uphill side/east side bike lane running from just northeast of Railroad Way to just shy of NE 85th. It's a bit of an island but it's decent.
• REMOVED WARNING: Burke-Gilman very-short-term closure in Kenmore removed. (Both maps)
• REMOVED WARNING: Kirkland's sewer line repair let the southern Central Kirkland Connector reopen, so the warnings are gone. (MEGAMAP only)

Previous releases:

Changes with 2.0.8 (February 14, 2026):

• WARNING: Burke-Gilman CLOSURE in Kenmore for emergency repairs. They aren't saying what, but it's almost certainly hillside stabilisation where they piled up highway legos a few months ago. Between 61st and 65th Aves NE, February 16-20. (Both maps)
• WARNING: I should've added this already, but I've now added caution flags on 125th NE in Seattle showing the rework in progress through November 2026. This is a massive project and will be a massive upgrade. (Both maps)
• WARNING: Kirkland's sewer line repair work still hasn't let the southern Central Kirkland Connector reopen, and the latest word is end of February. Notice updated to reflect that. (MEGAMAP only)
• REMOVED WARNING: EastRail Trail South temporary closure in Renton is over, so the warning has been removed. (MEGAMAP only)
• REMOVED WARNING: Final work on the extended bike lanes of NE 124th in Kirkland wrapped up, so that warning has been removed. (Both maps)

Changes with 2.0.7 (November 23, 2025):

• WARNING: EastRail Trail South in Renton near the Seahawks Training Centre will be CLOSED from December 1-5 for regravelling. (MEGAMAP only)
• CORRECTION: 132nd/134th from NE 24th to NE 60th in Bellevue along Bridal Trails Park was INCORRECTLY labelled as having bike lanes. IT DOES NOT. This has been corrected locally (ala Seattle corrections) and I will relay the error to the maintainers of the 2 Line Bike Connector Map. Thanks to @astruder for the correction. (MEGAMAP only)
• CORRECTION: NE 40th in Bellevue between 140th and 148th Ave NE was INCORRECTLY labelled as having bike lanes. IT DOES NOT. This has been corrected locally (ala Seattle corrections) and I will relay the error to the maintainers of the 2 Line Bike Connector Map. Thanks to @astruder for the correction. (MEGAMAP only)
• REMOVED: Work on Sammamish River Trail in Woodinville between 175th and 178th is functionally complete, and no more closures are listed. (Both maps)

Changes with 2.0.6/a (November 1, 2025):

• WARNING: Sammamish River Trail will be CLOSED intermittently and without warning entering Woodinville from Bothell between November 3rd and 14th, WITHOUT an official detour. This unacceptable situation is why I'm dropping this release even with the NE 124th situation undefined. (See next entry.) The alternate route you want to take is through the chain link fence gap to 178th NE and successor roads past McLendons, 131st Ave NE under the railroad bridge, and either the 175th Ave NE trail access ramps or trail access points in central Wilmont Gateway Park. (Both maps).
• ADDED, with caveats: 124th Ave NE extension of bike lanes to NE 124th St are, according to Kirkland on October 30th, supposed to be finished by October 31st. That has not happened. However, the north end looks finished and the south end is in rage, so I'll be adding the bike lanes to (Both maps).
• WARNING: South leg of Central Kirkland Connector is now going to be 100% closed through at least the end of NOVEMBER for ongoing emergency sewer work. Alert box modified to indicate the new length of 100% closure. (MEGAMAP only)

Changes with 2.0.5 (October 17, 2025):

• ADDED: Two-way bike lane opened on E. Marginal Way S on 9 October 2025 from Edgar Martinez/Atlantic down to Horton St., at which point you cross over at a new bike crossing to the existing ped/bike mixed-use trail which connects to Spokane Street Trail. This creates a no-car-interaction connection. These bike lanes will be extended from Horton directly to Spokane Street in early 2026. (MEGAMAP)
• ADDED/UPGRADED: Bike lanes on northern 100th Ave NE in Juanita upgraded and extended to cover NE 139th St. through NE 145th St. (Both maps)
• UPDATED WARNING: The south leg of the Central Kirkland Connector is BRIEFLY reopening this weekend (October 18 and 19) for a marathon event before CLOSING again until late October for continuing emergency sewer repair work. Once it does re-open, it will be closing again intermittently for additional work. On the maps proper, this is mostly be an alert box change. (MEGAMAP)

Changes with 2.0.4 (October 3, 2025):

• ADDED: SODO to Georgetown connection along 6th Ave S, Alaska, and Airport Way S. This isn't technically done yet but it is open and people are actively riding it, so I'm adding it.
• ADDED: Georgetown to South Park connection along Albro, Ellis, and E. Marginal Way, with existing bike lanes on 16th Ave S. More work is pending, via technically separate projects rolling out in early 2026.
• ADDED: Significant changes to "commonly used" routes in eastern Mountlake Terrace, western Briar, and even a little NE Lake Forest Park as people find ways to the Mountlake Terrace light rail station. Thanks to @MHowell@kolektiva.social on Mastodon for pointing this out, I hadn't noticed the shift yet.
• ADDED: More people on bikes means more "commonly used" routes in Bothell worth having on the map, so multiple such routes have been added.
• REMOVED: Final warning notice on Juanita Drive near Juanita Bay. The housing construction that has been extending into the roadway isn't 100% complete but it's close enough, it should be good.
• REMOVED: The warning notice on the Interbay Trail near Terminal 9. The "bridge over nothing" (or "bridge to nowhere") which two decades ago went over a driveway is finally gone, much like the driveway, just much much later.

Changes with 2.0.3 (September 19, 2025):

• REMOVED: Thomas Street Bridge warning sign, since the bridge re-opened on schedule
• ADDED: 15th Ave to Beacon Ave S protected bike lanes are finally open! This connects the International District all the way down to Jefferson Park and S. Spokane St.

Changes with 2.0.2 (August 24, 2025):

• ADDED: Redmond Central Connector extension up to Eastrail at NE 124th is open earlier than expected!
• ADDED: Warning flag: the Pier 91 section of Elliot Bay Trail will close from 2 September to 2 October for repaving and rebuilding, including getting replacing that weird steep over-rail bridge. There WILL be a posted detour, but it's kinda long and involves Magnolia Bridge, so I'm flagging it.
• ADDED: A block-long half-dirt connector between Ashworth and Densmore continuing N 157th for pedestrians and bicyclists willing to deal with a dirt path
• ADDED: Extension of a Shoreline Trail Along the Rail fragment south of NE 185th all the way down to NE 180th; at previous check, it didn't quite connect, and now it does
• CORRECTION: 10th Ave NE from 155th to 185th was listed as UNMARKED BUT POPULAR, but has sharrow markings, so will be re-marked as SHARROWS

Changes with 2.0.1 (August 4, 2025):

• ADDED: Alaskan Way Connector linking Elliot Bay Trail to Waterfront Trail with fully separated bikeways. Decades in the making, finally here (MEGAMAP only)
• ADDED: Painted bike lanes on Meridian Ave N in Shoreline between 155th and 175th streets (both maps)
• ADDED: "Commonly used" markers on Meridian Ave N throughout Shoreline (both maps) - this is somewhat aspirational, as there has been use of this road as a secondary to tertiary bike arterial but not quite enough to justify marking it as such until now. I am fairly certain that the new bike lanes in the middle of the route will increase its utility enough to justify it (both maps)
• ADDED: "Commonly used" makers on a section of Fremont Ave in Shoreline, because that section is used a little more than parts of Meridian which now carry that marking, and one should be consistent (both maps)
• ADDED: A weird little section of bike path I found in Lynnwood north of 196th at Wilcox Park. As 196th loses its sidewalks in that area, even this standalone oddness serves a useful purpose if you're sidewalk-biking on 196th (MEGAMAP only)
• ADDED: A few more street names in City of Seattle, along with a couple of small adjustments on difficult streets (both maps)
• CORRECTION: REI Lynnwood's icon was placed very slightly left of its actual location, and has been adjusted (MEGAMAP only)

Changes with 2.0.0 (July 15, 2025):

The big update this release is making City of Seattle street labels legible when printed. This was a pretty large and time consuming project for several reasons, and involved patching many parts of the map b
