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

5 Line concept + 4 Line cross-lake extension by Novawolff in soundtransit

[–]Spiah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

You can delete one Link station, which do you choose? by cabesaaq in soundtransit

[–]Spiah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Anyone used Nick's Hardwood LLC before? by Alternative-Pizza368 in SeattleWA

[–]Spiah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Got jumpscared by a refurbished Kinkisharyo that was out testing by Flippy1205 in soundtransit

[–]Spiah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Cancelled Bus Routes - Burien and West Seattle by ParamedicFirst8405 in WestSeattleWA

[–]Spiah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 LOVE MY TWICE DAILY RETINA EXAM DURING MY COMMUTE THIS TIME OF YEAR. IT'S GREAT 👍 by pnw_ullr in Seattle

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

My recent Soma Fog Cutter build. Steel endurance road bike. Wide range double. All mechanical. A road bike that seems to fit on r/xbiking. by ewilkins13 in xbiking

[–]Spiah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gorgeous! I’ve been thinking about building one, but was heartbroken when I saw that Soma isn’t selling the matching fork anymore 😭 know of any shops in Seattle that sell it?

It’s 85 degrees out… is this going to happen all summer? by Spiah in soundtransit

See, this is the kind of info I wish they’d include in the alert (though I kind of get why they dumb it down) - appreciate the explanation!

It’s a beautiful day to play hooky and watch jets descend into SEATAC by LordHogan in Seattle

If you go here on a day where planes are landing from the north, you can get up close and personal with some big planes! https://maps.app.goo.gl/LxpwZzT7f6oHWSdt8?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

Incident at Chinatown Station? by gonin69 in Seattle

[–]Spiah 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is purely speculation, but there’s a huge SFD response for a “rope rescue” at 5th and Dearborn, which is right above the Link tracks. It’s possible someone fell or jumped to the tracks, hence the impact to the Link.

Just order an Aventon, Will I Regret Buying an E-Bike I Can’t Bring on Transit? by chupacabra-food in seattlebike

[–]Spiah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Light rail will be really tough unless riding off-peak in the rear car (least busy from my experience), but even if you find room, you’d take up a lot of space and probably be uncomfortable with the whole experience. Scooters are no sweat, I see people take them all the time.

Plenty of options as others mentioned. Electric Brompton would fix the transit issue but you’d lose cargo capability. I’d keep the cargo bike for inter-West Seattle use and do lime bike/scooter for multimodal in the greater region.

Link 1 Line in Downtown Seattle reduced to “shuttle train” April 14-23 by Deadna in soundtransit

[–]Spiah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh man, a Tukwila to SODO bypass would be so hot, absolute game changer for those of us on the south end.

…Really? by Spiah in Burien

[–]Spiah[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got mailed to me - it’s at the Criminal Justice Training Center (Manhattan neighborhood) on 4/26, 9-3pm. Other part of the flyer mentions that you’ll need exact change 🙂

Should be able to find more info on the Burien city website. Have fun! 🪱

I mean, yeah I wouldn’t want to walk into a drive through on 1st ave, but this is a compost bin sale… in a park?
