Lynnwood councilmember joins Bike Everywhere Day

Lots of legs joined North Sound Bicycle Advocates for Bike Everywhere Day, May 14. The day began at 6:30 a.m. at the Celebration Station located at the Interurban Trail at 228th Street Southwest between Highway 99 and Lake Ballinger. It was all downhill from there.

  1. Robert Luetwyler appears to be a great addition to the Lynnwood city Council. It’s too bad the city council did not recognize his abilities sooner. He was passed over by at least two other candidates which withdrew for a variety of reasons.
    Also, I believe Everett is north of Greenlake.
