  1. Seattle–Tacoma International KSEA → Boeing Field KBFI

    What do you do if the start and destination airports are just 5 nautical miles apart?

    Of course, you take a little detour over Mount Rainier and watch the sunrise from up there!

    But first, you’ve got to get up there …

  2. A little video of Galen's finished "Slumlord" sign. I bent the neon for him, and some of his sign painter buddies helped with the paint design.

    Galen wears the "Slumlord" badge with pride- refusing to raise rent on his property in the rapidly gentrifying Hilltop neighborhood of Tacoma. The piece is inspired by another landlord with a coin operated gas meter on the stove (quarters for cooking time).

    We love the clickity clackety of the mechanical incandescent bulb flasher in there- Galen mounted it so the whole metal "can" acts as an "amplifier". Galen loves anything mechanical. It was way fun being his Teachers Assistant for the class.

    The ruby red glass in this came from Chihuly "Studio 1" in Tacoma (long since moved to Seattle)

  3. ‘“We believe additional [Sounder] trips would be supported by the public and would address ridership demand in 2036,” Saxe said. If we were to engage with BNSF on the possibility of adding new trips, we would continue to track ridership trends as well.”

    Saxe added that Sounder capital projects uniquely qualify for Federal Railroad Administration grants and financing, unlike Sound Transit’s other modes. ' theurbanist.org/2024/06/15/sou #CommuterRail #RegionalRail #Sounder #Seattle #Tacoma @urbanistorg
