[QUOTE]Originally posted by smitty195: [QB] Yes, taking the new light rail is so much easier than the bus service. The light rail vehicles are extremely clean and bright, and I did not find any graffiti anywhere (and I was looking for it). It's usually carved in the plastic seats, in the plastic windows, and just about everywhere. But not these---they are still showroom new. The only drawback is that there are no luggage racks. But my train was only 1/4 full so it was no problem. I did make it to both the Boeing factory and a ferry ride. Boeing Factory: So very impressive---extremely impressive. I HIGHLY recommend this trip. I was on the assembly line (in an overhead viewing area) for the 747-8, 777, and 787. I could see the 767 line (and the new military 767 tanker line). I'm ready to go again. It was unbelievable. Ferry: I took the "Wenatchee" which is one of three of the very largest ferries that they have. It was HUGE. Nice and smooth--you can't even tell when you start moving. Not a single bump or noise. If this is what a cruise is like, I'm ready to go. It was really nice. I did the Bainbridge Island ferry. Over at 3PM, arrive 3:35PM, get off, get right back in line, depart at 3:50PM, arrive Seattle at 4:25PM. I was out on the deck taking pictures in the rain! It was a lot of fun. The round-trip ticket was $7.25. [/QB][/QUOTE]
