Take your best shot: King County Parks looking for trail photos

Submitted photos could be on the cover of the new regional trails map

February 28, 2014 7:06 pm

The King County Parks Department is launching a search for the best photos taken from anywhere on the 175-mile regional train system.

The winning photo will become the cover of the “Regional Trails in King County” map when it is reprinted in September.

Submitted photos should convey trail users’ experiences along the trail system. Photos will be accepted through July and a panel of judges will pick the winner in August. The winning photographer will receive a REI XT 85 backpack.

More information on the contest will be available at the 26th annual Seattle Bicycle Expo, March 1-2, at the Smith Cove Cruise Terminal, 2001 W. Garfield St., Seattle.
