The conmiittee enthusiastically adopted the proposal as the core of the Cougar Mountain Sub-Area of the Newcastle Community Plan. This acceptance by an official (if advisory) arm of King County government brought in the professional staff work of King County's Planning and Community Developnent Department, and its Parks Department, which published a handsome brochure and produced an evocative slide show and undertook extensive field work and research. Further, it made the presentation to the PRO PARKS Citizens Committee which led it to place the park at the top of its county-wide list; though the bond issue failed, due to a miseries of the economic system, Cougar Mountain and the bond issue actually attained a majority in those areas where Cougar Mountain was best-known, so that this defeat in the fall of 1983 was far from a total loss.

  • The Great Outdoors by Bus
    28 » On Trail March + April 2011 » Washington Trails The Great Outdoors by Bus Think a car is the eleventh essential? Reaching trailheads by public transit may be easier than you think A point-to-point hike without doing the two-car shuffle? A day trip without a stop at the gas station? Getting out into the woods without a car? It’s all possible. Both King County Metro Transit and Sound Transit offer easy, reliable bus access to and from several popular destinations in the Issaquah Alps. One of my favorite bus-accessible hikes is West Tiger #3 Sum- mit. The 5-mile round-trip hike up Tiger Mountain’s west side winds along a wide, well-maintained trail that climbs 2,100 feet through forest and fern with breakthrough views down to the val- leys below. The last half mile climbs steeply up a rougher, narrower path, but the views from the top are worth the effort. Puget Sound glimmers in the distance with the snowcapped Olympic Mountains as a backdrop. Cougar and Squak Mountains fill in the foreground. The West Tiger #3 Summit is an excellent choice for a quick up- and-down hike. It is well used year-round by trail runners, seasoned and neophyte hikers, dogs and their people, and those looking for a solid conditioning route. On summer weekdays, it’s popular as an after-work stress reliever. When I have a little extra time, I like to tack on an easy stroll around the calm waters of Tradition Lake or relax in one of the many byways along the wide, flat trail.
