Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail - Bikepacking - Day One - Seattle to North Bend, Washington

Thanks for the great ridealong! Would you consider posting a map of your route? I'm planning a trip in the opposite direction, and after watching this video I've already re-routed my I-90 segment up through Redmond and Bellevue past Lake Sammamish instead!

Enjoyed the video - would have loved a bit better trail descriptions but overall really great. Do you have a GPX you could share from this route? I'm subscribing to keep up with your travels. Thank you.

Great video. Really enjoyed the route, the views & your comments. I have not seen the sections you showed us….which makes me even more anxious to explore those areas. Will look forward to the upcoming episodes. Thanks for sharing!

At UW there is a hidden left turn that takes you across the busy street by the light rail station, then you cross the drawbridge on the east side and avoid that weird intersection that has been under construction for about five years. I've done from Puget Sound to a few miles east of Snoqualmie Pass, except for the Issaquah to Rattlesnake Lake part. Most of my missing section looks nice. I need to ride that now. This looks like a great adventure!

This is a really nice video...great job on the navigation and the takes. Thanks for filming it and your editing..great stuff.

Very nice video. Thanks for sharing. following &👍42

@23:28 There's a gravel switch back going up from the road to the other side of the Preston-Snoqualmie trail. But there is a bridge there that got destroyed by a storm years ago and it was closed to most people. There's a make shift bridge underneath it and you'd have to carry your bike over a fence and cross the sketchy bridge. I was gonna ask what the condition of that main bridge is today as I haven't been there in more than a year but it turns out you made a detour to Lake Alice Road and back to the trail. This looks like a fun ride!

Sammamish - pronounced “Sa - mam - mish”. I went to Sammamish High School in Bellevue. I immediately knew you were starting in West Seattle near Alki (pronounced “Al - ki” as in the second syllable rhymes with “high”. I lived near Alki for 25 years.

Really enjoyed this video, gained a subscriber from me, this channel deserves more

Awesome video! I think I'm one of your first 100 subscribers with my other account, number 270 with this one. Do you mind sharing your rwgps route?

Yeah, you''ll pass for a local no problem. Just avoid trying to pronounce any of our local place names. hahaha Good Luck on the ride!

I think that's the first time I've seen fat tires on a non-bike. What's your thought process behind that choice?

That was a good video even though the path you took from Seattle to snoqualmie was. Like a zig zag between towns, (I live in this area) the rest of your trip is going to be awesome.

Hey are you from around here? Means that they hope that you are a local, they want to hang with you or go riding with you. 🤷🏼‍♂️ 🚵🏻‍♂️🚵🚵🏻‍♀️

Cool

Nice video; however, it might be even nicer if the background music were minimized or removed entirely. Hearing the same BGM for the entire 30-minute clip at that volume level made it hard to watch the whole clip.

Because Seattle is super clickish they can smell outsiders from a block away. That's why they ask. I live in Yakima which isn't far from Seattle and we get that to.
