E-Bike Legislation Passes in WA Senate and House.
WA’s electric-assisted bicycle (e-bike) legislation bill (SB 6434) defines e-bikes as a type of bicycle (not as a motorized vehicle). It allows e-bike use on paved trails, but restricts use on natural surface trails--unless the land manager specifically allows it.

Workparties in the Colonnade: Come join in!
The Colonnade—Evergreen’s first major construction undertaking—started the amazing statewide trail construction and maintenance ride we’re on today.
Colonnade proved to land managers that BBTC/Evergreen members were serious about creating riding opportunities for all riders—and its completion lined up projects like Duthie, Tiger, and Raging River.
Originally consisting of several challenging trails, the completion of the Colonnade provided an urban ride center for Seattle MTBers. With a place to develop skills that didn’t require a drive to the mountains, colonnade offered a riding option for users who may not have had time or resources to ride elsewhere.
