Every time I've crossed the lake for a non-commute trip, I've needed to plan around (half-)hourly bus service, with last run often before evening hangs wrapped up.

Trains every 10 minutes most times and every 15 until ~midnight really changes things.

I met friends for lunch today in Bel-Red. What a relief it was to not be constantly checking my phone as we finished to ensure I wouldn't be waiting in the cold and rain for 25+ minutes.

Frequency is Freedom!

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.

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

Don't have a Sound Transit themed watchface, but happy full 2 Line/Cross-lake connection day to all who celebrate! 🥳

Looking forward to tomorrow, as the Seattle area gets to boast of a world's first... the first light rail line to cross a floating bridge. It's been years in the making, had tons of delays, but tomorrow it finally opens and links Seattle proper to Mercer Island, Bellevue and Redmond. Granted, the segment from South Bellevue station to Downtown Redmond station has been open for a while, as well as the International District/Chinatown station in Seattle, but the Judkins Park and Mercer Island stations are all new. The tracks cross the Homer M Hadley Memorial Floating Bridge, which besides carrying the tracks carries the westbound lanes of Interstate 90 from Mercer Island to Seattle. The ribbon cutting is at Sam Smith Park, just across from the eastern entrance of the Judkins Park station, and that's at 9:00 AM. Service begins at 10:00 AM. https://seattletransitblog.com/2026/03/27/a-sneak-peek-at-the-crosslake-connection/ #Seattle #MercerIsland #Bellevue #Redmond #SoundTransit #LinkLightRail #LinkLine2 #PublicTransit #GrandOpening #WorldsFirst
