Lynnwood light rail is super popular โ€” but thereโ€™s a problem Parking can run out at Lynnwood by 8:30 a.m., leaving some would-be riders to ditch light rail for yet another I-5 drive. Other stations' garages are filling, too.

Day 7 of #WeekWithoutDriving

A photo from our (unsuccessful) trip to get the new WSF ORCA card, but having dinner with friends near and far was a worthy consolation.

No transit photos today, as all I did was visit my parents' house via a carpool. In lieu of buses, y'all may instead have a photo of their cat.

Two amazing sights, all at one moment:

โ€œAt nearly the same moment the railcar first entered the I-90 bridge from the Mercer Island side, 11:49 p.m., a thick shower of sparks streaked high above the park, from an apparent meteor.โ€

Screenshot of text from King County Metro's operator handbook.  The text reads:

11.13 Base Routes
Coaches scheduled to or from a base or terminal are considered in-service. Operators must accommodate all customers requesting to get on or off the coach at all regular stops on surface streets and SR-520. For base and โ€œYโ€ routes that operate in areas where bus zones are not posted, make customer stops at the far side of intersections, whenever possible.

I'm starting a new awareness campaign: King County Metro buses signed with a "BASE" or "To Terminal" are in service! You can flag them down and ride! If you see a bus going in the direction you want to go, wave at the driver and ask. It's fun!

Honestly pretty good. Their kiosks take both cash and card iirc which is cool. The only major downside is the lack of a customer-facing soda machine.
