Whether you’re out on Mt. Si or in the Issaquah Alps—or any time you’re out in nature—park to be bear aware. In most cases, park officials say bears will do their very best to get away from you before you even realize they’re around.
Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife officials advise people to avoid black bears. Hike in groups and make noise to let bears know you’re nearby. If approached by one, stand up, wave your hands and talk in a low voice while backing away and avoiding direct eye contact. Officials also recommend carrying bear spray.

We recently finished installing the new protected bike lane on Fremont Ave N, between N 34th St and N 35th St, as part of the Route 40 – Transit-Plus Multimodal Corridor project.
Perfect timing for Solstice Fair and Parade and FIFA World Cup festivities!
More than 500,000 bike and scooter riders have crossed the Fremont Bridge so far this year.
