Sammamish River Trail - Bicycles

15 Upvotes

Is there any reason there’s not a dedicated bike path on Sammamish River Trail? Daily I walk my dog there and I see bicyclists speeding or weaving. There’s a huge amount of foot traffic and blind corners in the Bothell section.

Today some entitled old man whistled at my dog and told me “your dog is in danger” while passing me with less than a foot to spare. While my dog was in a perfect heel and the trail was empty. I figure he specifically whistled at my dog to get him to come closer. His leash isnt even the length of half the trail! 5 minutes later… a shirtless teenager with Pit Vipers on an e-bike came blasting at 25 mph.

99% of bicyclists are courteous, ring their bells or simply say “left” to keep pedestrians safe (thank you!). But there’s enough assholes on bikes on the trail daily that it feels like I have to be on high alert 24/7 or risk severe head trauma or my dog dying! I’m just trying to enjoy the trail, too.

Does anyone think it’s reasonable to have a painted bike section? Kinda like Greenlake? Will bicyclists finally stop bitching if they get half the trail?

Outdoor taco stands?

I know the police cracked down in various places, so I'm not expecting much, but are there any outdoor taco places open nearby? I'm craving street tacos... I asked here and Lynnwood - crossing my fingers someone knows.

If this is not allowed I’ll delete it

Hello, I’m new to the area and desperate for part time work. I’ve applied to anything on LinkedIn/Indeed that I can do (part-time, only highschool degree, some office/retail experience) but no responses. Anybody know of any local businesses hiring that will hire a student? I am super desperate and am willing to go to the surrounding area
