I was there for a once-in-a-lifetime event! Literally just drove up in the parking lot at Johnston Ridge when it started going. Incredibly exciting to see

just too frightened by the sound of it

"Elf finger caught in box of Keebler cookies" caught my eye at the bottom of that page. Was always suspicious of those guys

I’ve probably missed a few smaller options. But I think that’s the story I a nutshell

In the last 20ish years the nautical options expanded a bit, with county governments running passenger-only ferries to a few destinations around Seattle

Oh and of course we’ve got a lot of water here. People have traveled by foot and bike on ferries since the 1800s, and since the 50s on the state ferry system that bought up the previous private firm that served cross-sound routes.

And a combination of real estate development schemes, and a previous ST decision to delete an expensive underground light rail station, drove additional development of a small new trolley network. But it’s not successful IMO

But the funding scheme of Spund Transit requires pretty strict regional allocation of funds. So other schemes fund further different transit expansion in Seattle and other cities. This includes recent BRT routes as apart of the Metro bus network. They run on city streets instead of freeways like ST

The light rail part is now a pretty useful system with expansions in the works thru the 2030s. Commuter rail is pretty niche and low-volume, and express busses serve regional routes that don’t have rail

regional “express” busses running on freeways, regional commuter rail sharing freight tracks, and a light rail system through Seattle and out to the suburbs. It went thru multiple ballot measures, multiple cost overrun/replan cycles, but was built.

In the 90s the state allowed the formation of a new regional transit authority which became called Soubd Transit, spanning 3 counties around Seattle. It had 3 parts:
