Alert 10/6-10: Interurban South Trail closed for repairs near Emerald Downs in Auburn

The Interurban Trail will be closed for repairs October 6-10 between 29th Street NW and W Main Street near Emerald Downs, according to King County Parks. The closure is to make some trail repairs.

There is no official detour, and the County simply said, Trail users should plan alternate routes during this period." There does appear to be a possible detour option along the east side of the tracks via Ron Crockett Drive/H Street NW and an unpaved path that goes under the 15th Street NW bridge. Google Maps marks it as a path, but there may be some private property signs. The King County Parcel Viewer shows that the path is almost exactly located on the line between Union Pacific property and the adjacent commercial properties. I wouldn't rely on this route, but I don't see an obviously better on-street option, either. It looks like 29th does not actually connect to B Street NW, which would have been convenient. Maybe exit further north and take S 277th Street to B Street NW to A Street NW to Main? If you are familiar with the area, let us know in the comments if there is a better option. This one looks rough.

Details from King County Parks:

Beginning Monday, October 6 through Friday October 10, 2025, a section of the Interurban Trail at 15th St. SW in Auburn will be closed between 29th St. NW and West Main St.

Trail users should plan alternate routes during this period. Closure signs and safety barriers will be in place. Notice boards with closure information will be posted on-site ahead of the work.

Thank you for your understanding as we make these important improvements.
