This is the final post of my Pacific Northwest Up to Date trip. It’s a bit later than I’d like but I wanted to rebuild Chicago-Union Station first to get those 2 photos properly processed with the station. Me and my Dad have four excellent days skiing at Whistler. We head up there on the 6:00am […]

This is the part 2 (of 3) of February 17th, 2018’s adventures. After getting off Pace Bus 307 I get my photo essay of Harlem Avenue–(19 Photos). I then start walking briskly down Windsor Avenue to Berwyn–(30 Photos). There I get my pictures and head to the shelter on the outbound platform. A man is sitting […]
Over the past few days I’ve finally had time to finish writing (and uploaded all photo additions) of the first section of my Spring Break Travelogue: Spring Skiing Spring Break in the Pacific Northwest.

I considered booking a through Amtrak Throughway ticket to Whistler the fares seem to very a bit. I didn’t end […]

I spent the morning first going to the Seattle Science Center because its on my Transit Museum Membership (a member of the ASTC passport program). As an adult I wouldn’t have spent money […]
This post is part four of Spring Skiing Spring Break. I buy my Mariners ticket and walk back up to King Street Station–(8 Photos) and walk over the overpass to the Sounder island platform that is separate from the regular station. I board the second Tacoma-bound train (this becomes the second reverse peak direction train and […]
This post is part three of Spring Skiing Spring Break. Introduction: Tuesday night before my trip I’m visiting the Sound Transit website and notice an alert that through September (the website says they began on April first, but when I check later the website says starting April 9th) the region is piloting an ORCA Day Pass […]
