Everett Transit schedule book :)
Route 1 goes between Mall Station and Everett Station (connect to 510, 513, or Sounder at Everett Station for service to Downtown Seattle)

The Everett to Seattle Sounder train leaves from Everett Station, which isn’t that close to the mall, although there must be bus service from one to the other.

Everett station is here: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=everett+station&sll=38.855371,-77.05479&sspn=0.007519,0.014141&ie=UTF8&ll=47.975616,-122.199168&spn=0.006464,0.014141&z=16

Does anyone know if Sound Transit is planning a ‘Sounders Sounder’, like the Mariners and Seahawks service? Besides the clever marketing, one train going north and south would help alleviate the traffic jam and backed-up transit schedules after the game, particularly when the bus tunnel is out of service.

Hey lookie Avenging Archangel mentions my ranting on their bus service and agrees with me They're Laughing At Us In Seattle

My apologies – I did NOT mean to be snotty. However, I hear it from too many people too often about how “lucky” we are in Pugetopolis. Yes we do have an excellent bus service with rail about to begin for real. However, as someone who voted for rail here 40 years ago, it has been a long time coming, and luck had no part of our comparatively good situation. It was the work of many over 3 generations, including the STB folks most recently, to whom we owe a trainload of thanks! Again, my apologies.

That they did. ESPN said they are only the second MLS team to win their opener (Chicago Fire went on to win MLS Cup). And they pulled if off with a senior citizen in goal. Who knows if the Seattle P-I’s annual Sports Star of the Year awards dinner will continue and if so I know Griffy will be the sentimental favorite but I say Go Keller!!

I gave them to my sister. Apparently it was awesome, and they killed NY.

Exactly. We have an awesome bus system, and no rail system (yet). In 15 years we’ll have both, and things will start to be really awesome.

Jessica’s just being positive :) Indeed, we have a pretty strong bus network in Seattle. I think we need to play catch up with rail, though.

Sorrrrry – lame excuse. We ALL (even folks in Virginai Beach) need to get over the car thing, the sooner the better – more transit is never too much!

We should stop complaining about our bus service. Check out where some of my family live: Route 36 Holland Road in Virginia Beach, Virginia. This is a bus route that serves Virginia's largest city (by population - around 400,000 something people). At least we have our 11:45 PM buses and our Night Owls (even the dreaded 174)

Ride Sounder to Sounders! Oh, but only if you live along the south line. And only if you don’t mind showing up when the game is JUST starting. And only if you take the bus to get back, some time before the 11:45pm beddy bye time.

Sigh. We have a long way to go…

What would be REALLY useful is a late-night peak-direction run. The last peak-hour trains should leave on schedule as they do now, but how about adding an 11:00p or 11:30p outbound run on both lines? It would work to accommodate concert-goers, sports fans, bar flies, and people who just had to work late.

Sound Transit’s. It’s the “city of destiny” train.

Who’s red locomotive is that?

Hopefully the weekend games can get special service like the Seahawks games do.

The last Seattle – Tacoma train under Sound Move was slightly delayed due to the lack of room in Tacoma. The 9th train will start in June/July. The 4 extra trains under ST2 will be added between 2012 and 2016 along with platform expansions.

There will not be anymore Seattle – Everett trains added to the schedule unless demand was to drastically increase and a big hand out to BNSF Railway.
