Until near the end of the ride, we rode almost continually along the Interurban Trail. For the most part, this was an excellent mostly urban route with the vast bulk of it being either dedicated cycling trails or streets with good bike lanes. While having the GPS for our route was critical a number of times to keep from getting irretrievably lost, there was a lot of good signage for the most part. Despite all the good trails and bike lanes, going through Everett was no great pleasure. And between Everett and Marysville, we got onto State Route 204 for just a few hundred meters…and that was absolutely terrible. Actually, this highway is a bicycle trail itself with an excellent bicycle lane, but we had to quickly get across two lanes of traffic to get into a left turn lane in order to turn on to Sunnyside Blvd SE. As it was during afternoon rush hour and there’s a freeway exit than empties onto this road, the cars were not only continuous, they were driving at highway speeds. It probably took us ten minutes before we were able to get across to the left turn lane. What a pleasure to be off that road.
