• Another creepy Washington horse story, of course, of course. A 26-year-old Kennewick man was arrested Friday, caught without his pants and chasing the neighbor's very scared horsey.

Beginning July 1, Amtrak is adding another train to the Seattle-to-Portland route. That'll mean a new 11:20am departure from Seattle and a new 2:50pm departure from Portland, in addition to existing STP trips at 7:30am, 2:20pm, and 5:25pm; and PTS trains at 12:15pm, 3:55pm, 6:20pm and 9:45pm. One-way fares start at $26 (and top out at $42).

Did you know there was passenger ferry service from Kingston to Seattle (and vice versa, of course)? Apparently not enough of you did, or cared, because the private passenger-only ferry service provided by Aqua Express will have a big "Out of Order" sign on it as of October 1 (last day of service is September 30). It was carrying only half the projected ridership, and that combined with ever-rising fuel costs, made it a harder sell when compared to the Washington State Ferry, which doesn't charge on the eastbound routes.
