Ride the Light Rail

Seattle is finally a real city now that it has the beginnings of a true public transit system. Just 3 blocks from our house is the new Link light rail and we love it! We rode both days opening weekend and though the cars were jammed packed, we had a blast. It was very cool to be a part of Seattle history.

The light rail will start running to the airport in December
