My custom Google Map of about 30miles of connecting bike trails from Seattle(Fremont) to Bothell to Marymoore Park in Redmond to Sammamish.
I'll finish the East Lake Sammamish trail(which stretches south to Issaquah) on the map as I complete it on my bike. See my last "cycling" fave for pdf maps of the larger King County trail system.
