Some guys who seemed in some way associated with some branch of government seemed disappointed when a fellow rider said Westlake had now wait; I thought it was a pretty good introduction to the system to be able to walk right on to the next train.

I'm thinking all the other events + warm weather + media reports of large crowds have kept some away. If you didn't have a ticket for the first ride you likely could still have gotten on the train. They didn't seem to ever check tickets, they just opened a rope and people went up to the platform. And there was plenty of standing space in the (3-car) train I was on. I can't believe I was in tukwila a little bit ago and now I'm 5 miles north of downtown, all without using a car! Yup, no massive crowds…yet.

It this good or bad? Hmmm, watching from a distance… no real reports of massive crowds. It this good or bad?
