I don't think you understand the situation.  Are we squatting when the railroad took the property by adverse possession from the property owners in the first place?  The Railroad and now King County don't have a quit claim from the property owner granting them 100 feet in my section. The 100 feet ROW cuts my house in two.  My great grandmother did not think she was squatting in 1932 when she built the house, nor did we think we were squatting when we paid taxes on the property for 50 plus years.   My husband and I are not complaining that the trail is happening, but we don't think they need to claim our house in the process without compensation. They certainly don't need it for the proposed trail.  I think you might object if King County suddenly claimed to own half your house.
