  • i live in Seattle - you may have heard of the consistent forest fires and smoke we had been having this month. the main reason for it is that we just didn’t get rain when we were supposed to. normally we have fairly dry summers, but this year… the summer just didn’t end. it was only about a week ago that we finally got our first autumn rain, and until that day we consistently went above 20°C. we even had it go up to 27°C one day. normally in October the temperatures can go below freezing. not anymore, i guess.

    oh yeah, that train line isn’t bad. it got extended to northgate, and they’ll be extending it further all the way to everett. but yeah, it’s the only real passenger train in the region, its very limited in it’s reach, it isn’t particularly fast, and like you said it’s taking forever to build. i think it’ll be done in 2024, so not quite as long as you said, but yeah - China could probably build HSR for half the state in the time it takes us to extend this one line.

    on a related note is the west seattle bridge. they discovered there was a fault in it in like 2019 or 2020, and said that it would take them like 5 years to fix it. so if you need to get to west seattle, fuck you
