Park History The Centennial Trail is constructed on the original railway right-of-way built north of Snohomish by the Seattle, Lake Shore, and Eastern Railroad (S.L.&E.) in 1889. The S.L.&E. eventually connected Seattle north with Canada and linked Everett east with Stevens Pass. In 1892 the Sumas Branch line between Snohomish and Arlington was purchased from S.L.&E. by Northern Pacific and later sold to Burlington Northern, in 1970. Operation ceased on the Hartford- Edgecomb section in 1972 and on the Snohomish- Hartford section in 1987. To the south in King County, a section of this same abandoned S.L.&E. line has become Seattle's heavily-used Burke-Gilman Trail, and King County's Sammamish River Trail.
