The Eastrail Corridor Project represents a bold investment in Woodinville’s future - transforming a dormant 1.9-mile rail line into a dynamic multi-use trail and linear park that weaves through the heart of the city. More than a trail, the Eastrail Corridor Project is a catalyst for connection - linking neighborhoods, supporting local businesses, and shaping a healthier, more vibrant Woodinville.

Beginning at Wilmot Gateway Park, the corridor will extend north through downtown Woodinville to the city limits, creating a vibrant public space where residents and visitors can reconnect with neighbors, nature, and the community itself.

Upon completion, this segment will link Woodinville to the 42-mile Eastrail network - connecting Renton to Snohomish - and providing seamless access to the Sammamish River Trail as well as the future Centennial Trail extension in Snohomish County.



Help Shape Woodinville's new Linear Park and Trail!

We want to hear from you! Tell us what matters most to you - whether it's art, play areas, natural spaces, recreation, or something entirely new.

Take the Woodinville Eastrail Corridor Visioning Survey now through August 30, 2026.

Your input will help create a community‑driven framework plan that reflects Woodinville’s values, culture, and priorities.



Planning & Design

The planning and design of this project will be organized into three phases:

  • Phase 1 includes planning, conceptual design, and the creation of a framework plan.
  • Phase 2 will complete the preliminary design and environmental review of the recommended trail alignment and amenities.
  • Phase 3 will complete the final design and permitting for the trail.

The framework plan will set a foundation for the project and the future phases, including trail alignment alternatives, a cultural plan that identifies existing or new community assets to connect to the corridor, and options for phasing investment and construction of the project over time.


Next Steps

Public engagement will be a central component to the design process. The Project Team is kicking off the summer season with a series of opportunities for public feedback. Understanding the public's priorities will help the Design Team develop a framework plan that reflects the diverse needs of Woodinville's communities.

  • Greater Access to Transit & Nature: Walkable links to transit and green space encourage low-carbon travel and healthier daily routines.
  • Healthier Community: A welcoming, multi-use trail promotes walking, biking, and outdoor activity for all ages and abilities.
  • Economic Vitality: Increased foot traffic supports local businesses and expands access to jobs and services.
  • Inclusive by Design: Fully ADA-compliant infrastructure ensures accessibility for people of all abilities and backgrounds.
  • Environmental Resilience: Enhanced stormwater management and flood mitigation improve water quality and strengthen climate preparedness.


Community-Driven Design

This trail is being designed with - and for - the community. Public engagement is central to shaping the corridor’s identity, amenities, and priorities. Community members, local organizations, and tribal governments are all playing a role in determining the vision for this space, including input on:

  • Public art and corridor branding
  • Types of park features and recreational zones
  • Design of crossings, gateways, and gathering spaces
  • Wayfinding, safety features, and environmental stewardship
