Dramatic things are happening at Weaverling Spit as work continues on the Tommy Thompson Parkway Trail. This photograph was taken Sunday at Fidalgo Bay Resort, where railroad ties and tracks are piling up as a trail is created on the abandoned Burlington Northern line. This exciting project will ultimately tie South March Point Road to 34th Street, with a section of trail incorporating the railroad trestle. This phase will provide a scenic route for non-motorized travel along the eastern shoreline of Fidalgo Bay. This construction phase will complete 1.7 miles of new trail, bringing the Thompson Parkway Trail to a total of 2.9 miles.
