You’re right again :-) I listen to Dory M on the radio now and then if I’m out during lunch time (he’s on FM 97.3). He was absolutely livid on quite a few locations last year about the money that was spent on Sound Transit and the amount of time the trains were down due to mud slides.
We used Sound Transit once to go to a Sounders game. We had to drive all the way to Sea-Tac airport and pay to park out there as there is no where to park in a location that was closer to my sister and BILs. I will say that train was packed but I’ve heard/read that the ones used for work commute are not.
