Did you know that the Eastside Rail Corridor (ERC) runs more than 25 miles through King County? The former railway turned multi-purpose corridor connects the cities of Renton, Bellevue, Kirkland, Woodinville, and Redmond.
To raise awareness about the corridor and celebrate its multi-purpose vision (trail, high capacity transit, and utility uses), King County is beginning a naming and branding effort. Don’t worry, the Cross Kirkland Corridor and Redmond Central Connector names won’t change- we’re only considering renaming the Eastside Rail Corridor as a whole.
We want to hear from you! Please take a few moments to share your insights on the ERC. The survey is active through December 1.
