Light rail finally connects Seattle to Bellevue and the east side of the lake! I haven’t ridden yet. I’m tempted to get some hair curlers and flip flops to wear on my first train trip to Bellevue, just to spite Kemper Freeman Jr.

“ by Freddy Monares  Published March 28, 2026 at 5:00 AM PDT Passengers will for the first time cross Lake Washington on a train between Bellevue and Seattle this weekend, as Sound Transit's 2 Line finally opens to the public.
It is the world’s first light rail train to cross a floating bridge, according to Sound Transit. The ride features views of Mount Rainier and, during rush hour, backed up traffic on the freeway. “ https://www.knkx.org/transportation/2026-03-28/light-rail-sound-transit-seattle-bellevue-lake-washington #soundtransit

On our way in:
“This is your operator speaking. We’re stopping for a moment while we wait for a parking spot here in downtown Redmond”
The whole train burst out laughing 😆

Went to the opening of 2 Line at Judkins Park today to get railed

Which was a good plan because it was saturated with queers, furries, and transit enthusiasts (but i repeat myself)

I also helped paint the murals, got a Boop the Orca face tattoo and many good stickers
