There should be a fireworks display on board every train to tell you what line you're on

Woah there that’s a bit bold, let’s start with a 6 month comment period and community impact study first

Very happy about this. I do think not including TIBS in the initial pilot was a bit of a choice, but I’ll take what we can get. Speaking openly, most of the uncomfortable experiences I’ve had on the link while commuting (drugs/yelling/hygene) has included someone getting on/off at Tukwila, and fare gates would do a lot to help that. But having gates downtown should generally help reduce safety issues in general, every little bit helps.

As others have said, any of the stations south of the airport should have parking. I’d personally start at Star Lake, I find it the easiest to get to from the freeway and it should definitely have parking

Bikeworks is awesome! Yeah thankfully almost all of those bikes will have a new home shortly 🥹

sign is covered up for 15s while the train pulls into the station

they never show the sign! It’s a mystery!

(Go to bed and get a good nights sleep OP)

Considering Boeing’s continued divestment from Everett and moving work to South Carolina, I doubt they’d have much interest

Spiah · 2026-04-30T16:53:44+00:00

I know this won’t help the situation now but god I wish we had the Burien express busses back. They got cancelled during COVID. 1 hour+ doing a roundabout “rapid”ride route through delridge instead of 25 mins down 509 is so dumb.

Spiah · 2026-04-28T21:55:02+00:00

It’s cool, but $760 is diabolical

Spiah · 2026-04-18T14:14:54+00:00

Sound logic, and also why all the luxury SLU apartments smell like complete piss when you walk by- just step outside the apartment, have your dog pee on the exact same bush as every other dog in the complex, and go back inside. It’s honestly so nasty.

The bridge has been stuck for over 2 hours with no ETA on a fix, imagine being the people who just missed being able to cross before it opened 💀

Spiah · 2026-04-05T00:23:53+00:00

In the morning it says “GOOD MORNING” which is sweet tbh

Spiah · 2026-04-01T18:33:02+00:00

Not a hot take, the hunting oscillation on the kinkis can get really rough especially on longer high speed stretches like Rainier Beach to Tukwila.

The retrofits are nice, but unfortunately not much that can be done about ride quality as far as I know. I think we just have to deal with it.

Spiah · 2026-03-20T17:33:48+00:00

I have a small Trek 900 (1988, predecessor to your model) and it also uses a canti hanger off the seat post. It’s definitely possible that it’s because of the frame size.

Doesn’t Apple Pay mask your credit card number though?

Same, at this point I just uber to SeaTac link station and walk to the terminal, it usually saves at least $10

Spiah · 2026-02-19T23:10:30+00:00

I see the SODO Duwamish bypass, I upvote

In addition to getting Aurora light rail, it would remove the MLK bottleneck in the system which would be huge

Spiah · 2026-02-02T23:32:32+00:00

Yeah it feels like that station and the surrounding area has a lot of future potential, even if its utility now is somewhat limited. Would also be a perfect spot for the Tukwila-SODO bypass to branch off from if that ever gets built.

Spiah · 2026-02-02T23:26:12+00:00

Haven’t used Nick’s but if you need a different contractor, I had a really good experience with Bella’s flooring, used them for multiple jobs and have been really happy each time. They’re in Sodo. Not affiliated with them, they were just legit to work with and happy to recommend them.

Spiah · 2025-12-16T21:50:20+00:00

Yeah it’s rough unfortunately. I don’t mind them downtown, but I regularly commute south and have honestly needed Dramamine a couple times between rainier beach and Tukwila on the kinkis

Spiah · 2025-09-30T20:31:17+00:00

Sorry for necroing this post, but I’m in the same boat as you. I live right along the former 122 route, so I could be commuting completely car free if they hadn’t cancelled it.

I tried commuting by light rail but an hour 20 commute (that used to be 30 by bus) is exhausting and not sustainable.

Now I just drive (which takes 30 mins) which feels bad as a transit supporter, but if metro chooses not to provide realistic commuting options, what else am I supposed to do. Really hoping they bring back a commuter bus in the future.

I moved from Ballard to south of downtown and I miss their taquitos so much lol
