I've seen both good and bad reviews on the SOW when it ran from Renton to Woodinville. What pleases one person will piss off another...you can't please everyone.
I hope to ride the SOW while it's here but for the prices they charge, it will be during the lunch run for me.
I hope SOW works out but I just dont see how it will when:
1. They advertise it running out of Freighthouse Square when actually it is sitting 1 to 2 blocks south.
2. No covered area for passengers once they leave FHS. That will not work well when it's raining and blowing from the Southwest this fall/winter.
3. They need to be able to park at FHS where Sounder sits, but that means a backup move then up the hill. Too bad that Tacoma Rail couldn't extend the track siding across the street so the SOW could park where Sounder does then move out before the first Sounder arrives.
