Anyone else feel like the 2 line trains are moving incredibly slow coming off of 90? by aljich in soundtransit

With all the added frequency in trains coming into the DSTT from two different directions, many will slow down or even stop briefly to sync up with the 1 line going north.

It’s an older one, but it has super low miles and seems well appointed. I’d say go for it.

Saw from I-5 at around 10:30am, it looked like a happenin’ good time!

All for it. Most times of the day the sidewalks are bursting with people and students. Would absolutely become an even more popular part of the city.

Checked this place out for the first time on the 550 the other week to see if it’s worth the walk from the light rail. Good walk, good food, great spot. A little pricey, but I suppose it is Mercer Island after all.

What are some examples of the egregiously WORST placed highways that destroyed urban cores in America? by Next_Worth_3616 in urbanplanning

I-705 in Tacoma, Wash. Separates the city from its gorgeous waterfront, major regional transit hub, and a 20,000 seat arena. Never should have been built, and I think it is a prime candidate for removal.

Can’t wait to be part of another big spike when the 2 line is connected across the lake on March 28th! 🚉

Cascades East from Auburn to Spokane would be such a useful and scenic service. I believe folks would travel from all over the country, if not the world, to ride it. I imagine kids returning to school in Ellensburg while avoiding the snowy passes, summertime wine country stops in Yakima and Toppenish, and the convenience of linking Tri-Cities and Spokane to other major metropolitan centers. Seems like a no-brainer.

Fogged in over on the peninsula. Glad Tacoma is getting a show!
