The Port of Seattle acquired the right of way of the former Woodinville Subdivision from BNSF Railway through purchase and donation in 2008.
On December 10, 2012 the King County Council approved purchase of 15.6 miles (25.1 km) of the right-of-way from Port of Seattle.
A portion of the central corridor, named the Cross Kirkland Corridor, is owned by the City of Kirkland; a spur to Redmond, named the Redmond Central Connector, is owned by the City of Redmond; a portion in downtown Bellevue was purchased by Sound Transit,  and a northern portion of the corridor remains Port property for dual use as a trail and freight line.
Some state residents brought suit against the Port of Seattle because the purchase was not used for freight in its entirety.
In 2016, Snohomish County acquired the right of way from the King–Snohomish County line at Woodinville north to the city of Snohomish.
