Trail Progress At Yesler Swamp

Friends of Yesler Swamp, a group which works at maintaining and upgrading Yesler Swamp, located in Laurelhurst bordered by NE 41st Street and Surber Drive, recently posted this on their website:

East Trail Progress

The Washington Conservation Corp started working again on the Yesler swamp trail on the East trail this spring. All the wood material is cedar. They are making a 4 ft wide boardwalk with four wider passing zones for wheelchairs.

They will return again  in late May to finish the trail which may take another 2 to 4 weeks.

Eastward Ho!



If indeed it will take that additional 2 weeks, we will need to raise more money.



You can donate either through the Seattle Parks Foundation or the UW Foundation.
