点评:We just finished a trial run from Everett to SeaTac using Community Transit and the Link Light Rail system to check it out before our flight from SeaTac in a couple weeks. It was terrific!
We caught a bus a short walking distance from our home in Everett to the Lynnwood City Center Station, then boarded the Link Light Rail 1 Line to SeaTac. The train was clean, comfortable, and swift, with plenty of riders. Quite a few people had luggage with them, headed for the airport.
We arrived at the SeaTac station after about an hour and ten minutes, then walked a few minutes to check out part of the route to the Alaska terminal. The entire walk to the Alaska gate is 10 minutes or so. We noticed several free, self-driving shuttles that we could take if we didn't want to walk the whole way.
We went back to the SeaTac station and got on the 1 Line heading north. At Westlake, we got off and walked down Westlake Avenue to south Lake Union for a picnic near the MOHI, enjoying the views of the lake and watching the float planes come in. Then we caught the street car back to the Link Light Rail station at Westlake. The Westlake station itself is worth a look, with its classic tilework, stone, and impressive hanging lights. We continued our journey on the 1 Line back to the Lynnwood station, where we caught a bus back to Everett.
The entire trip from Everett to SeaTac and back, including the bus between Everett and Lynnwood and the side trip on the Westlake street car, cost just $6 on my Orca card. Six dollars! I'm hoping I'll always be able to plan my flights so I can take the Link Light Rail to SeaTac, and I won't hesitate to take the rail anytime I want to go into Seattle. Bravo Sound Transit!
翻译:我们刚刚完成了从埃弗雷特到西塔科的试运行,使用了社区交通和 Link 轻轨系统,以便在几周后从西塔科起飞之前进行体验。体验非常棒!
我们从埃弗雷特的家出发,步行不远便可到达林伍德市中心站,然后乘坐 Link 轻轨 1 号线前往西塔科。列车干净、舒适、快捷,乘客众多。不少人带着行李前往机场。
大约 1 小时 10 分钟后,我们到达了西塔科车站,然后步行几分钟查看了前往阿拉斯加航站楼的部分路线。步行到阿拉斯加登机口大约需要 10 分钟。我们注意到有几辆免费的自动驾驶接驳车,如果不想全程步行,可以乘坐。
我们回到西塔科车站,乘坐 1 号线向北行驶。我们在西湖下车,沿着西湖大道步行到南联合湖,在MOHI附近野餐,欣赏湖景,观看水上飞机降落。然后我们乘有轨电车返回西湖的Link轻轨站。西湖车站本身就值得一看,经典的瓷砖、石材和令人印象深刻的吊灯。我们继续乘坐1号线返回林伍德站,在那里换乘巴士返回埃弗雷特。
从埃弗雷特到西塔科的往返全程,包括埃弗雷特和林伍德之间的巴士以及西湖有轨电车的短途旅行,用我的Orca卡只需6美元。6美元!我希望以后能随时计划好航班,这样我就可以乘坐Link轻轨去西塔科,以后我想去西雅图的时候,我也会毫不犹豫地乘坐轻轨。太棒了!海湾交通!
