I only really bike to work and occasionally to Woodinville.
The Eastrail page has a decent map of full-separated bike trails (not just separate lanes), although it’s annoying that some of the trails are “highlighted” in grey.
The green trail north/south through Kirkland, and all of the grey trails following 520 and then north up to Woodinville are bike paths (not bike lanes, totally separated). They occasionally cross roads but it’s infrequent. My house is (intentionally) along the 520 path so I can bike to work entirely on small neighborhood streets + the bike path.
I guess my post is targeted to people who already know they want to bike but don’t know if they want an e-bike. I should mention that not everyone is going to be happy biking here though. Kirkland is pretty good for biking if bike lanes are good enough for you, and Redmond is weird but mostly fine. Bellevue is mostly suicidal to try to bike through (except along 520).
I also updated the title since I mostly don’t talk about Seattle.
