Great News for the ODT-Eaglemount section in Jefferson County!
With passage of Washington state’s capital budget, funding is in place for a route-finding study that will advance the Olympic Discovery Trail over the Eaglemount area on the Quimper Peninsula—the current gap between the Larry Scott Memorial Trail and Discovery Bay/Highway 101. Closing this gaps means creating a safe, off-road pathway for people on foot, wheels, and hooves.
The next step is to hire a consulting firm, which will determine the most preferred route, considering terrain, scenic value, cost, and other factors.
The Peninsula Trails Coalition thanks the dedicated people authorized by the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners in the 2016 Transportation Improvement Plan, as well as Rep. Steve Tharinger and former congressman Norm Dicks, for continuing to promote progress for the Olympic Discovery Trail.
We’ll keep you updated on this project as it progresses. In the meantime, you can donate to the ODT-Eaglemount Fund and help us MAKE THE CONNECTION. Thanks for your support!
