We've got a ton of work to get done this morning so we can knock off early and go enjoy the more than 45 inches of new snow in the past five days and this weekend's coming snow at Baker. However because we try to be fair, we thought it important to note a letter sent by the Sierra Club to Sound Transit regarding ST 2.1 and parking garages since we've come down pretty hard on The Sierra Club recently. more ›

Light rail is about to be in the news in a big way again. Shortly after announcing an increase in ridership of 12.5 percent on Sound Transit and 7 percent on King County Metro last year, it's looking like light rail will be back on the ballot in '08.

Or it could be up on blocks at base somewhere, who knows? You know how that is? more ›

Taking the bus tunnel in to work this morning was pretty cool. Our commute was probably all of four minutes shorter than it's been for the past two years while the tunnel's been closed, but we got to walk a little more and we enjoyed the validity that the undergroundness of it brought to our home>to>work experience (that part might be the Chicago talking...it ain't a commute if you're not underground). more ›
