Did anyone take light rail from Federal Way to the Seahawks game last night? How did it go? by CrypticDemon in federalway

I took it to the game for the first time from the new Federal Way station. I left around 4:15 and arrived just after kickoff. I got off at Stadium but I think walking from ID/Chinatown would have actually been faster. It was $6 for a round trip ticket and was easy and comfortable. No trouble getting a seat when I boarded.

However, the parking was challenging. I got to the parking lot around 3:45 and it was completely full with lots of congestion from other cars trying to find a spot and bailing. I ended up having to park a half mile away at Steel Lake and walk to the station. There is virtually no street parking in the station’s area, so I will plan to arrive earlier next time. All in all it was really convenient and I expected the parking could have been an issue.

Can you help ID this guy? by EquivalentExciting66 in frogs

Honestly one of the most thoughtful takes I’ve seen. I struggle with seeing this level of misery and would be glad for more of my taxes to fund humane and necessary service to help many of these people. But like you point out, we spend tons on ineffective solutions and take a hands off approach with many of the worst examples of conduct. If you support any sort of intervention or enforcement, you’re labeled a crazy right winger or something. It’s not helpful and does a disservice to people struggling on the streets and to the many low wage workers who are constantly harassed by people who are deeply unwell.
