Mountains To Sound Greenway
Across America, many interstate highways are the province of strip malls, billboards and spreading urban development. But people in the Pacific Northwest wanted a different future for the road over Snoqualmie Pass.
In 1990, local citizens created a plan for the Mountains to Sound Greenway to keep an accessible landscape of forests, wildlife habitat and open spaces as breathing room for people, and a place of incomparable beauty, history and outdoor recreation for their children and grandchildren.
Today, the Greenway stretches along 100 miles of Interstate 90 in Washington State from the waterfront in Seattle to the edge of desert grasslands in Central Washington.
