I leave home for dance class. With a book in my bag that needs to go back to the central library. I take a bus to Capitol Hill, where class is. And go directly into the new subway station, where I catch the train seconds before it takes off. Two stops later I’m deep in downtown, two blocks from the library. Book drop’s right by the door. Mission accomplished.
One bathroom break later, I’m on my way back to the subway. I should be back in Capitol Hill right on time to make it to class. It’s only a few blocks from the station, after all.
As I wait for the train, a busker on the platform above the tunnel level fills the place with the haunting theme of “Bolero” on a French horn.
I’m really liking this upgrade to Seattle’s public transit system a lot.
It’s pretty great, yeah. I just wish the UW stop were near anything useful (to me) and not just in service of the Huskies stadium.
Same. Going through the campus is a pleasant walk but it’ll be so much more convenient once they finish building the station in the middle of the U district.
