Tonight (March 13), MOHAI is hosting a screening of the Edward Norton-narrated PBS documentary From Rails to Trails at their South Lake Union museum.
From 6–7 you can check out their Seattle cycling history exhibit. The film screening starts at 7.
It’s a great film! I’ve had a partial draft of a review of it written since it first came out, but somehow I never finished writing it. Oops! There’s a whole segment on the Burke-Gilman Trail, but it also does a great job of putting Seattle’s trail effort into historical context with all the other work around the country. There’s even a 1980 fight between a young Howard Dean and Burlington Mayor Bernie Sanders over a development that was going to block a trail (Dean was on the side of the trail and won).

Definitely worth a watch! If you can’t make the screening, you can watch it online for free from PBS.
