Under the 405/90 interchanges their respective bike trail meet in shade and obscurity. A quiet echo of the vast structures above, meandering through blackberries. I'd been there before, but not for a long time, and it felt quite magical.
Under the 405/520 interchange is also great, but in a different way. Much less developed, with the rail having only been removed in the last year or so. That will eventually become the Issaquah to South Kirkland Link line, and you can already see the stub coming out of the maintenance yard under construction. The trail gets very little use at the moment, and it's more the kind of place middle school students would come to hang out and experiment with being a nuisance. There was some delightfully incompetent graffiti this time, a mixture of math equations and random profanity. Very interstitial.
