Northwest Restoration Of Lynnwood

About Northwest Restoration Of Lynnwood

The Interurban Trail follows the old electric rail line that used to run streetcars between Seattle and Everett, and these days it's runners and commuting cyclists who use that same graded path through Lynnwood, ice patches and all when the weather turns. Northwest Restoration Of Lynnwood treats a storm the way the trail's history suggests: something to repair and reopen, not just wait out. A driveway cracked by a freeze, a walkway buried under branches a snow load brought down, a lot left rutted after an ice storm — the work is putting each of those back to a state the neighborhood can use again without thinking twice. The crew moves fast on the trailheads and connecting walkways first, since those carry the most foot traffic on the coldest mornings. Watching the trail clear block by block, the way it must have looked the day the old rail line first opened it up, is its own kind of satisfaction.
