The river changes its name but not its character. At Cecil Moses Park near Seattle's southern boundary, the waterway is called the Duwamish, an industrial estuary lined with warehouses and tugboat moorings. A few miles upstream, past the junction with the Black River, it becomes the Green, and the landscape shifts from freight yards to cottonwood groves and osprey nests. The Green River Trail stitches these two worlds together over 19 miles of paved path, crossing the river on bridges, ducking under interstate overpasses, and threading through more than a dozen parks on its way from Tukwila to Kent. It is one of King County's most-used trails, a commuting corridor for cyclists pedaling to the business parks of the Green River Valley and a weekend escape for runners, skaters, and families who want a river walk without leaving the suburbs.
