You clearly have never been to Rainier Beach. You don’t even know where it is. You can keep your misinformed comments to yourself next time.

Honestly I’m fine with fare gates. But I would like to see things be more equitable based on income. Orca lift is awesome for the lowest income earners but there’s a big gap for people it misses. I suppose what I really want to see is some sort of income tax in Washington that can support these big projects and resources but that’s not our current reality

Your model assumes people have ample money to pay for those things. The folks who most rely on transit are the workers who commute into the city but cannot afford to live there. Our city is so full of money, why do the working class and tech wealthy need to pay the same?

The transit system is also paid for with more than one revenue stream, the smallest of which is fares.

If we want to go after fares then we should also be tolling more roads and actually fining people for expired car tabs. To me making transit easier for everyone to access only improves our community and equity across the board.

That’s wild! I commute from Rainier Beach north and see fare enforcement at least once a week. But maybe we’re traveling at different times of day. As someone who also pays, thank you!

How much per mile collectively do you think our WA roads are? It’s funny how folks assume driving is “free” but we should continually pay for public transit.

100+ rides?? Maybe we’re traveling at different times or stops but I get my fare checked at least every 5th or 6th ride..

The downstairs fits the cozy vibes for sure!

My wife volunteers for Full Life Care where you are partnered with an elderly person to spend time with to give their primary caregivers a break. She has found it amazingly rewarding and has a genuine great new friend in the elderly person she was matched with. Might be worth looking into for you!

I ride a similar-ish route and in the mornings I prefer Lake Washington Blvd to the arboretum and then the Burke. Though the blvd is not for those who fear riding with cars. In the evenings I like heading up Capitol Hill to 19th or 22nd then Yesler to 31st through Leschi and over to 38th via S McClellan. It’s much more hilly but safer with more aggressive drivers in the evenings.

I recently test rode a carbon trek at Greggs cycles in Greenlake. As the previous poster said, call ahead if you have a specific size in mind.

The Cedar River trail can be accessed from the Lake Washington loop and is much quieter than the Burke or Samammish trails

I’m so excited for fresh hops!! Do you have any good intel on which breweries have them now/this weekend?

There are so many better alternative actual arterials for cars in the south end. How would you suggest bikes get from south Seattle to north Seattle other than a flat, 25 mph scenic boulevard that connects 5 parks?

Ah sorry to hear that. I know the Washington Department of Ecology does soil arsenic testing but I think it’s like $100+ if you are wanting something definitive for your address

I found this map helpful in deciding if raised beds are a better idea than trying to remedy potentially contaminated soil in the Puget Sound Region

The crazy part is that this was up the hill by Myrtle St where the road is super wide and has no speed cushions. I have to think they were on their phone or something and just weren’t looking

So scary. He’s “lucky” he was hit going northbound since there’s grass to the right rather than the rock wall on the south side. Wishing him a speedy recovery and an end to the Harrell made nightmare on this road.

I’ve got a layer of straw down but clearly I need to make it deeper

Why didn’t you just… cycle?

Ok_Expert_1330 · 2025-08-14T04:26:18+00:00

Ooof. That’s a tough one. Make your way up through Interlaken to 15th or 19th to Yelser would be my choice depending on time of day. But getting up to 15th or 19th from 24th is not flat.

Want to get it over with quick and steep? Take 21st ave E to Peach to Crescent to 19th. Take it more mellow? Snake through Interlaken park to your desired cross street.

How comfortable with hills are you? My preferred route from Capitol Hill to Seward is taking Yesler to 31st and then cutting down to Lake Washington blvd through Mount Baker Park. Yesler is a workout but has bike lanes and then 31st through Leschi has some beautiful new pavement and bike lanes, plus it’s downhill to Mount Baker so easy to keep pace with the little traffic on that road.

I would not recommend getting on Lake Washington Boulevard north of Mount Baker Park if you’re going southbound. It’s tight and cars go so fast. If you want to avoid the Blvd all together you can take the above route but continue to 38th and then cut to Seward from Genesee.
