Articles like this one spread confusion about e-motos, which are often marketed as e-bikes, but are distinctly more powerful and go much faster. We're working to cut through the noise in the 2026 legislative session in Olympia.

Thank you King County voters for renewing the Parks levy, providing six more years of investments to grow and improve the trail network! Bike trails allow us to get around, get outside, and get connected with one another for stronger, more welcoming communities ❤️
Add Bothell to the list of WA cities removing parking minimums! Another win for encouraging the development of people-oriented places, instead of cars: www.kuow.org/stories/whil...
King County Voters! Yes for King County Prop 1 is a YES vote for filling gaps in the King County regional trails network. Renewing the 6 yr parks levy will generate $182 million for trails like Eastrail, Interurban South, Green River, and Lake to Sound trail.
