The Foothills Trail proves to be a valuable lifeline to rural communities in Pierce and King counties. #trailsftw

Seattle Times: Buckley and Enumclaw residents are walking and biking in large numbers with SR-410 bridge closed
Read the full story on the Seattle Times. Seattle Times photographer Kevin Clark captured some great images of people walking and biking across the Foothills Trail bridge of the White River, which is currently the only direct connection between King County's Enumclaw (population 12,700) and Pierce County's Buckley (population 5,300). With work to reopen the highway bridge nearby expected to continue until November, people are figuring out how to get themselves and their wares across the river without driving the 45–60 extra minutes the highway detour requires.
