OpenStreetMap defines the Washougal River Greenway as multiple relations & ways rather than a single relation. It isn’t clear whether this is intentional. Ideally, a single relation would be used. But if there are reasons for separately defining multiple parcels, the reason should be noted.

Issaquah Alps (summitpost.org) The region known as the Issaquah Alps is a mountainous area of Washington State located east of the Seattle suburbs. The name “Issaquah Alps” is credited as being coined by Harvey Manning in 1976, and includes low-elevation mountains that face I-90 between Bellevue and North Bend. The major mountains of this area are Cougar Mountain on the western side, Squak Mountain and the various Tiger Mountain peaks (West Tiger, Middle Tiger, East Tiger, South Tiger) in the center of the area, and Rattlesnake Mountain on the eastern side of the area. Rattlesnake Mountain connects the Issaquah Alps to a section of the Cascade Mountains along I-90. Other major highpoints within the Issaquah Alps include Taylor Mountain, Grand Ridge, and Mitchell Hill.

Washougal River Greenway Trail (wta.org) Enjoy a family-friendly paved path along the Washougal River near its confluence with the Columbia River. This is a good hike for kids because there’s so much to look at without steep grades or narrow places that might be difficult for toddlers. Although surrounded by industrial areas, the riparian forest provides a buffer that makes the greenway feel peaceful and remote.
