Last week, Pierce County Parks opened the new Soundview Trail in University Place. This week cyclists get another new trail when the WSDOT and City of Tacoma officially dedicate the Scott Pierson Trail on Saturday morning at 9. The trail will eventually run five miles from about the Allenmore Golf Course to Gig Harbor, but the entire route won't be open until the bridge is finished.
The trail definitely has a commuter feel, unlike trails like the Foothills and Yelm-Tenino, but it will definitely draw those who want to pedal across the new Narrows Bridge when the new span opens in July.
