Seattle & Issaquah Mountain Bike Trail Conditions
Issaquah and the trails east of Seattle put big networks minutes from the city. Tiger Mountain's gravity trails, Duthie Hill Bike Park, and Grand Ridge ride on loamy, root-laced soils under heavy forest. The wet maritime climate keeps the lowland trails greasy in winter and tacky and fast through the drier months.
