Greater Northshore Bike Connector Map 2.1.2 and MEGAMAP 2.1.2 – both 5 June 2026 – are now available on github.

If you’re on a pre-2.1 map, 2.1 was massive, filling in large swaths in the south end and you want this update to catch up. And this release – 2.1.2 – is pretty important for the north end, even if we’re still waiting for Shoreline to connect the pieces at 5th Ave NE and for Kenmore to finish on 61st Ave NE. The biggest individual piece of news is that the Cross-Kirkland Connector is FINALLY OPEN WITHOUT DETOURS AGAIN! Also, big changes around 100th Ave NE in Juanita will matter a lot over there.

The full list of changes with this release:

REOPENED: Cross-Kirkland Connector at 85th NE is OPEN WITHOUT DETOUR. Work continues but the route is clear! (Both maps)

ADDED: Fremont Ave gained a protected bike lane on the east side/northbound direction between N 34th and N 36th. The 34th to 35th block isn’t completely done but is open so I’m putting it on the map right away. Thanks to Shawn Wilsher/@[email protected] again for the contribution! (MEGAMAP only)

ADDED: The previously-unmarked bike lanes on 100th Ave NE between Waynita Way and Kirkland now link to something and are have received at least one official marking, so are now officially on the map. (Both maps)

EXTENDED: The new 100th Ave NE off-road protected bike lanes on 100th Ave NE in Kirkland now extend to NE 138th Street, so have received upgraded markings and been extended on the map. Combined with the previous, this is a big deal for Wayne (in Bothell) and Juanita. (Both maps)

ADDED: Short extension of bike lane on eastbound 200th St. SW in Lynnwood, connecting the lane to 48th Ave W. The westbound direction continues to be just a sharrow. (Both maps)

ADDED: This paint that looked like a bike lane but had no markings in Lake Forest Park now has a confirmed sign saying it’s for bikes AND pedestrians both, so now it goes on the map with a special note. (Both maps)

UPGRADE: The east side of 15th Ave NE in Shoreline south of Hamlin Park has an off-street bike path now, rather than just a bike lane. Map updated to reflect this in the affected area. (Both maps)

Particular thanks to Shawn Wilsher/@[email protected] again this release for photos confirming the new Fremont Ave bike lane extension between 34th and 36th on the northbound side. That’s a big deal for the neighbourhood.

All permalinks continue to work.

If you enjoy these maps and feel like throwing some change at the tip jar, here’s my patreon. Patreon supports get bonus map variants, like pre-sliced printables of the Greater Northshore and 0% compression versions of the MEGAMAP. Plus, I can be open to requests. So.

Greater Northshore Bike Connector Map 1.6.1 – 3 May 2025 – is now available on github, as is MEGAMAP 1.6.1.

This release wasn’t supposed to happen yet – arguably at all, the next was supposed to be 1.7 – but I mislabelled a couple of blocks of split sharrow/bike lane in Snohomish County as full both-sides bike lanes and that’s not okay. I had to get that fixed, and I have, so: new maps drop. Corrections are in all latest maps, of course.

Additions and changes since 1.6:

Correction of errors on 84th West in Snohomish County, where sharrows had been incorrectly shown as full bike lanes across a couple of blocks where only one side has full bike lanes

Added bike lane markers for Forbes Creek Drive in Kirkland

Further cleanup of the trail situation in and around Crestwoods Park, Kirkland

Added Old Market Street Trail in Juanita

Added continuation notes showing how far infrastructure continues on the MEGAMAP’s northern border

All permalinks continue to work.

Greater Northshore Bike Connector Map 1.5 – 21 February 2025 – is now available on github, as is MEGAMAP 1.5.

With this version, the Greater Northshore Map has adopted our MEGAMAP’s former Empty Quarter, previously a basically empty paste-in of King County Regional Trails. It is now a peer map section with Greater Northshore proper, City of Seattle, and 2 Line Eastside Bike Connector.

There may not be a lot down there, but what’s down there is now properly mapped and included.

Additions and changes since 1.4.6:

ALL OF NEWCASTLE, as far as I know. Thanks to Kerry Sullivan (City of Newcastle) for help on unpublished but completed new May Creek Park Drive bike lanes

NORTHERNMOST RENTON, including substantial upgrades to Lake Washington Loop route markings, particularly street names for the chunk where it’s just bike lanes

New-to-me bike lanes around 100th Ave W. in Edmonds, now mapped

Upgrade to 15th Avenue S bike lanes in the Seattle map – they now have physical separation. There’s a warning flag because they’re still intermittently being worked on a little? But as far as I can tell they are generally open.

All permalinks continue to work.

Since the Montlake Cap over SR-520 didn't its trails open by end of October as per the previous deadline, I've gone ahead and dropped a new Greater Northshore Bike Connector Map and a new MEGAMAP for southwest Snohomish County down through Renton.

This is a minor release with a couple of corrections and removal of a construction warning flag in Bothell, thanks to the repaving project on Sammamish River Trail being complete.

MAPS RELEASE: Greater Northshore Bike Connector Map 1.4.3, and MEGAMAP 1.4.3, are on github.

Literally half this update is in Seattle and only on the MEGAMAP. I guess I maintain Seattle's bike map now. Other stuff includes what I think of as better handling of construction in Juanita and finding a pretty good sharrow neighbourhood route in Kirkland. Enjoy!
