Northeast 116th St, Sammamish Valley

This street is perfect for the outdoor lover. Nature at its finest, complete with a river and biking trails. There is a stretch of bike trail that runs along the street where you will experience views of the river an lots of greenery. This is a really pretty area. Redmond is known for its biking trais, not to mention an excellent school system, lots of parks, and of course Microsoft. Homes in the area run about half a million on up, but is considered an above average place to live in Seattle. This is a nice street to drive along or bike.

I drive by a sign all of the time that proclaims Redmond, WA as one of the most bike-able cities in the U.S. I don't know live in Redmond so I don't really know about biking around it, but I suspect it must be pretty good.

I do know that biking the Sammamish River Trail is one of my favorite things to do on a Sunday morning.

Park here on 116th (or ride in, if you're more hardcore than me) and you can bike along the whole trail. It has to be at least 10 miles long, and the whole thing is paved. It's actually a pretty easy ride, but that's what's nice about it. There's tons of river scenery along the way, a golf course, and several parks. There are also quite a few places to get off the trail and grab a coffee or a bite. Try it out sometime!
