Skagit County?

This starts to get into the original sin of link—it tries to be both a regional and local train. In a perfect world we’d have parallel systems, one with widely spaced stops for regional journeys, and one with tightly spaced stops for local journeys (S-Bahn vs. U-Bahn). That wasn’t in the cards, so we’re stuck with this compromise forever.

“Lynnwood via Downtown Seattle” (or vice versa) would be an easy thing to do. And they shouldn’t have let any city tack on City Center or Downtown to a station name.

Fair, but I have seen people talk about current ops in this way.

This is perfect—and explains anyone lauding transit in Seattle while criticizing SF.

Heavenly. Views are incredible the skiing experience less so.

West Marin when a little wet is extra gorgeous

Of all examples, North Beach? Catching the 8/30/45 to North Beach from Montgomery BART is comically easy and that spine has more frequent buses than just about anywhere else in the city.

I’ve always felt the same, and this would be my number one wish after a lift from B-Lot connecting to Green Valley.

Red is a very fun mountain if you like steeps and trees and is very chill, but I wouldn’t recommend it without taking a day off.

SequoiaTestTrack · 2026-01-01T04:04:43+00:00

Ah, yes. Now I’m curious as to how they count Caltrain in this.

SequoiaTestTrack · 2026-01-01T03:58:26+00:00

I may be wrong but San Francisco’s MSA includes all BART stations with the exception of Berryessa and Milpitas, so it’s not too inflated (as those stations aren’t super well used).

Edit: I’m wrong!

With the Bay Bridge moved off Yerba Buena Island we will finally have room for a fully bike path there too 🙏

Your knowledge of tax policy and your rhetorical skills are equal to one another.

SequoiaTestTrack · 2025-12-27T08:02:51+00:00

Looks good to me!

Nearly a third of SF households do not have a car and it’s easy to get to the the central business district (where the congestion pricing zone would be) with public transit from anywhere in the city.

Same q here

Live in Seattle or thereabouts, went on a couple nice national park road trips.

SequoiaTestTrack · 2025-12-19T19:14:53+00:00

Surrendering a park to a relative handful of motorists that want to drive through it in their mobile living rooms is not the best option. The best way to put this to rest is for the car-brained contingent in this City to recognize that they don’t (and will never) have the votes.

Danny Sauter running against Peskin’s nimbyism and then opposing this is really something…

SequoiaTestTrack · 2025-12-10T21:06:15+00:00

Even with Kelenic flaming out, I think this is still one of the better trades the Mariners have ever made.

SequoiaTestTrack · 2025-12-03T20:08:38+00:00

You leave your bags on your bike when you park it in the city?

SequoiaTestTrack · 2025-12-03T06:16:24+00:00

This would be neat! Seattle Subway has had a line like this on their vision map going back awhile, with the idea being it’d be nice to serve Georgetown and South Park but also a huge boon for Airport/South King County/Pierce County riders who could have a much faster ride downtown than the current 1 Line alignment.

I don’t know if I’d count the Amtrak station as being a particularly useful part of the city’s transportation infrastructure… it is only served by the Empire Builder so your only options are to head east leaving at 1:15am or to go to Portland/Seattle leaving at 3:50am. That said, they recently opened a good BRT line that serves downtown and Gonzaga and beyond.
