I’ve mentioned several times that Seattle doesn’t do winter well. We can now add hot weather to the climes that Seattle doesn’t do well. I had a conference down at the airport. Getting down there via bus and light rail was easy. Getting back, on the other hand…
The train was slow in arriving and stopped several times. The tracks were getting hot; in addition, the switch for the trains to change tracks was stuck in place. It took us over an hour to get three miles from the airport to the Othello train station. Finally three of us shared a taxi to get to downtown Seattle, after which I took my usual bus home. Although I left the conference around 4, I didn’t get home until nearly 7.
The word from this wiseacre: Skip light rail in Seattle in the summer.
A postscript: It was hot enough in Seattle to buckle a street south of downtown. Several cars sustained damage as a result.
