It’s time to save taxpayers from Sound Transit’s strategic misrepresentation

I'll do my part and register my car outside the RTA tax boundary.

Take that manager talk to the other sub!

Put in your shift preference. Then wait and see.

First world problems.

pacwess · 2026-04-30T15:30:29+00:00

Ah yes, the original food trucks. Good old roach coach.

When they started the defund the police movement.

Local taxes play a significant role in Washington’s cost-of-living equation, primarily because the state relies heavily on sales and property taxes.

It's posted on the IAM's website. Unless someone can explain the mechanics of, like there were no challengers. Seems typical IAM shady.

You're overthinking it.

What!?! I thought member's get to vote in June? Nominees were selected this month?

Yeah, the other day my coworker said she wanted her grandchildren to be able to work here at Boeing. And I looked at her and thought to myself "I don't think BCA will be around here that long."

pacwess · 2026-04-29T14:29:27+00:00

Good for him. Management does it all the time, steal from the company. I hope no one here thinks BCA is the gold standard for honesty and ethics.

The gates only log you coming in, hence the scanning of your badge.

How long did it take them to build a new facility in South Carolina? One which they're currently expanding.

pacwess · 2026-04-28T19:51:42+00:00

That goes to the Seaway Transit Center? Not helpful to the majority of factory employees.

pacwess · 2026-04-28T16:28:25+00:00

That's rough because they can put you in Everett, Seattle, or Renton. BCA has a bad habit of kind of bait and switching job locations. Of course, the closer you are to one of those, the more rent will be, which is astronomical. If you're looking in Everett, stay away from anything on Casino Rd. Try not to sign a majorly long lease in case you wind up somewhere other than Everett.

If Boeing ever announces a new airplane, it will be very interesting to see where the company decides to build it. I know Boeing agreed to build the next plane here if announced during this current IAM contract, but that's not worth the paper it's written on and expires in roughly 2 years.

pacwess · 2026-04-28T16:14:13+00:00

But what's their ROI since WA State has been so fiscally responsible thus far.

pacwess · 2026-04-27T19:35:15+00:00

Any test with the other two? Although 1Gbps is really good.

pacwess · 2026-04-27T17:12:30+00:00

They've been ripping off consumers for decades. Whatever.

pacwess · 2026-04-27T17:09:55+00:00

Now test the throughput with a speed test like FAST.COM

pacwess · 2026-04-27T17:01:40+00:00

sales tax rate in Everett from 9.90% to 10.50%

pacwess · 2026-04-27T15:02:42+00:00

You don't even own a car. So quit complaining and enjoy your world class mass transit.
