In August, 2006, Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust founding President and Seattle civic leader Jim Ellis spoke at the downtown Rotary Club of Seattle. Read his speech, "The Road Still Beckons" (2MB pdf)  for an in-depth history of the I-90 Mountains to Sound Greenway.

For a longer look at history of the Greenway Trust, see what Jim Ellis said in 1992 during his "Take the Greenway" (pdf) remarks near the beginning of the movement to create a Greenway along Interstate 90 in Washington State.
