I'll be your friend. We can drink beer, go to DSA events, and then drink more beer. Actually, I'm not sure if I can go to DSA events. The general meetings/orientations are all held on Sunday afternoons and I work Sunday afternoons. Would it be rude to show up to an evening event having never been to one of these socialists 101 meetings?

Also- there is a lot of involvement that can be had without having to go to the generals- almost all the working groups have separate meetings at various points throughout the week. If you're interested in getting involved I wouldn't let not being able to attend the generals stop you.

And if you did happen to drive up from California you should probably invest in some new tires.

Seattle isn't Portland but making all your friends in college then slowly losing them to attrition while making no new ones in years has been a winning strategy so far

Have kids then you'll be forced to interact with other parents or nannies.

Since you all have such a hard time making friends, why don't you guys in this thread just get together and do something with one another and make friends with each other IRL?

Odd that they don’t consider the Bellingham Airport, considering that they have flights and Paine Field doesn’t yet, but that’s a really minor nitpick. I think the idea is great. It would also be really easy to expand this to Idaho as well.

Seems like a good idea to me. Whether there's even better transit ideas that cost the same or less money is something I dunno about but if this was a ballot initiative in November I'd vote for it.

quote:A few years ago, some activists thought to start a group to urge aggressive expansion of the Seattle-area transit system. And guess what…it worked! so they asked for expansion and are claiming at least partial responsibility for that project. Does anyone know what they do besides asking for poo poo? Do they actually help with fund-raising, vote getting, professional lobbying?

I doubt they had much to do with it. Washington government goes very slowly.

there actually used to be a commuter run from stanwood, but not enough peope used it so they canceled. I'm baffled that anyone else on this board lives even remotely close to Stanwood. Things to do: stare at defunct bar buildings try to browbeat your friends into driving for an hour for a change wish you had the exciting nightlife of cosmopolitan metropolis Mt. Vernon

Having a stop here in the Tri is a no brainer. Speaking of the Tri, we are really getting good at throwing housing developments literally everywhere. I swear I see new ones popping up daily. But at least we have a Panera now! Yay!
