That’s because they want to shoehorn all of you folks on the coast into “mass transit”. That would alleviate rush hour(s) traffic jams, don’tcha know? One of the things that I noticed after working I-5 for 10 years was that on govt holidays that private enterprise ignored, traffic was considerably lighter, indicating to me that govt workers are the main cause of traffic congestion, at least in King and Pierce counties.

Agreed. I spent a couple years commuting from the Key Peninsula to Lake Union, then 3 years to Redmond. A 2 1/2 - 3hr commute would be cut in half. Heck, just getting across the Narrows bridge would be cut in half.

Now, a huge chunk of my work day is at my shop at/in Home, and I can take my dog swimming around the corner during breaks.

I'd throw it all away for a good union contract though ( /dripping sarcasm & LOL )
