Everett AquaSox
根據今天 Herald 報紙上的報導, 今年 Everett AquaSox 來了兩位台灣來的球員. 武昭關 (Chao Kuan Wu) – 蕃薯藤 RSS. 從 Wisconsin Timber Rattlers (1A) 調到這裡. 羅國輝 (Guo-Hui Luo) – 蕃薯藤 RSS Everett Aquaxo 屬於 Northwest League. 因此在 Boise, ID, Eugene, OR, Salem-Keizer, OR, Spokane, WA, Tri-City, WA, Vancouver, BC, 和 Yakima, WA 也有機會看到他. 由於這是 1A 的比賽, 球季很短(六至九月). 不過票價卻也是很便宜. 四個人只要 $44 (包內野看台, 四個熱狗, 四杯 32oz 的飲料, 和四包馬鈴薯片) [img=images/location_everett.jpg popup=false] 照片出處: Google Map 至於如何坐公車到 Everett Memorial Stadium, 請恰網站. 球員在球季間換隊是很平常的. 因此如果你想去為他們加油, 出發前最好還是確認一下.

30th Community Transit
今年是 Community Transit 30 歲的生日. Community Transit 是 Snohomish County 的大眾運輸系統(沒有包括 City of Everett, Everett 自己有官方的 Everett Transit). 在 Snohomish County 的營業稅裡, 有 0.6% 就是贊助 Community Transit 的大眾運輸. 儘管如此, Community Transit 事實上是一個半官方的運輸系統, 並不受 Snohomish County 的郡府管轄. 上星期六(六月三日), Community Transit 在她的保養場裡, 有慶祝 30 年的活動. 我想這是我去的 Festival 裡最好的經驗之一. 裡面的提供的食物完全的免費, Miss Washington, Oxygene 和公車和保養場的介紹等等.
