I had heard this $294k was supposed to be on the way earlier this year, but according to this the money hasn't been delivered yet. At least it's going to get done. Thanks for the links, Brian. And yes, Sen. Murray has definitely won my vote in 2010 already.

Some may not like earmarks, but the sad fact is this is the process in place for providing Federal funding for many projects.

I was hearing last year that Amtrak service would begin by the end of 2008, but I just saw something about the project just being approved LAST WEEK. Even though the train departs at an ungodly hour for Seattle in the morning, I'd still much prefer that to taking Trailways in the future.
