@doug.city

If I had to hazard a guess - most riders are using F trains, and there’s not really a good transfer point from the G to the <F> since it skips Bergen St

Hong Kong, truly the Seattle of Asia

waiting patiently for date me docs to catch on among somewhat more normal people

Folks! The IMEU has streamlined this process to be super easy - you don’t even have to know your senator’s number to call them using this form! (And for my fellow Washingtonians - these are the same bulldozers that were used to kill Rachel Corrie)

do you want "Catholicism but american" we invented that, it's called Episcopalianism and it's even more woke. all the priests are lesbians. good luck

Yeah, the Pioneer Square station is much less sketchy than you might expect from its surroundings

as far as I can tell, yes

and current plans is to do the exact same thing at East Main in Bellevue, as a transfer station to the planned 4 line lmao

Precisely

Side platforms are mostly great but it’s very funny that we have them in Seattle at the one station where they could cause problems

IIRC they were built this way explicitly to discourage local-express transfers to avoid overcrowding the platforms

The current 45 used to be part of the 48, then was made into its own route when University Link opened, and is now interlined with the 75 (and the 75 used to be interlined with the 31/32…I guess it gives metro flexibility to play with operations without confusing people by changing their local bus#)

Mostly historical accident, I think - for example, the 1 and 14 used to be separate but were combined at some point for operational efficiency, ostensibly

The trolley loop on Summit/Bellevue used to be the northern tail of the 14, but was later lopped off and number 47, and now it’s part of the 3

We didn't deserve this day.

I mean, I’ve never been, but it strikes me as being relatively nice

also it reminds me a little bit of SLC (as do Tehran and Kabul) with the dry climate and close proximity to mountains

this is a hell of a double gut punch

In Seattle it’s illegal to hold public meetings about zoning without singing about trees

popping open the Seattle Channel live feed while I’m on my way to city hall and discovering that I’m missing the NIMBY children singing and dancing

anyways, Wiktionary says that mullet rhymes with gullet

Bullet and gullet rhyme for me 😎

that’ll work - thank you!

@qagggy.bsky.social A friend of mine just moved into the Queen Anne Gables - do you know if anyone has written a nice summary of the multi year long saga of its development?

waow…

Sometimes you go for a walk in the park and unexpectedly stumble upon a heron rookery

this rat’s nest fights climate change!

The 2 Line short turns at Northgate at night

King County Metro has roughly triple the amount of buses DART has while covering a service area with fewer people
