i work construction, and my right-ish foreman also forgot all day. until I told him what day it was just before the city’s memoriam service started, which we were working around 🤷

incredibly! i tried to avoid most of the lines by riding past the new stations but I decided to check out mercer islands station and had to wait at the platform for 3 trains to pass to finally get on the fourth. even then the train I got on was still sardine packed. for some reason soundtransit decided to run a bunch of 3 car trains on opening day so I don’t think that helped at all…

i too have a train, a historical moment from lake washington, of one of the very first passenger service light rail trains to cross over a floating bridge in the world!
