New adventures in Seattle
The weather, once again, cooperated for our latest adventure. In early December Gail and I decided to explore new areas and destinations in Seattle. From the Lakewood Station we arrived in Seattle (4th and Union) about 10:15 am. We walked two blocks to Pike Street (between 3rd and 4th) to catch bus 10. This bus comes along every 10 minutes, so we didn’t wait long. The bus wove up and over Capital Hill, through the Broadway intersection, and to where we got off at 10th Avenue. Our first destination: the newly re-located Elliott Bay Book Company, located at 1521 10th Avenue. www.elliottbaybook.com New adventures in Seattle- continue reading

Day out in Seattle
A slight chill in the air at 8:15 a.m., as the three of us waited under the brilliant LED lights to board the 8:30 bus at the Lakewood Station terminal. But the sky was brightening fifteen minutes later, and as the bus swung on to the highway we could see the clouds just lifting over the Cascades.
As we took the off-ramp into Tacoma there were great views of the Tacoma Dome and then, to our right, the Museum of Glass. Even with many new passengers getting on in Tacoma, the bus was only two-thirds full. And it did feel good to pass all those gas stations without once having to think about stopping for gas.
It was a smooth ride up I-5 in the bus lane, sweeping past hundreds of SUVs and single-occupant sedans in the slow-moving lanes. At 9:35 we were taking the off-ramp to the Busway, running alongside the train tracks. A date with Picasso…- continue reading
