Let me take this opportunity to bitch about the new transit system in Seattle. I was living in Des Moines right when we switched from the traditional Metro system to the more wide spread "Sound Transit". My bus commute went from 1 hour on 1 bus for a 20 mile commute to 2.5 hours and 3 buses. Surprisingly, I started driving to work again.
Now I live in North Seattle and it would take me almost 3 hours to get to work. The first bus wouldn't pick me up until 6:00am, meaning I would have to work until about 8:00 every night.
