第一條輕軌不到一個星期就要開始行駛了…

等了 13 年多, Sound Transit Central Link Light Rail 約兩個星期就要開始行駛了… 七月十八和十九日免費搭乘, 想嘗鮮的就去跟人家擠擠吧!!! 雖說這輕鐵經過東南亞商店聚集的 MLK 上, 只是除了 Othello 外, 其他的車站附近都沒有東南亞商店. 尤其沒有車站位置靠近在 MLK 上的越華. 不過 Othello Station 北側紅綠燈處有個小型的東南亞商場 (King Plaza). 其中那越南麵包店 (Tammy Deli and Bakery) 的肉丸倒是滿好吃的 (7107 Martin Luther King Jr S Plaza 一樓), 只是價位似乎是高了些. 商場後面, Safeway 斜對面有間泰國/柬埔寨商店. 可以找到些少見的泰國食材.

For other locations, search “electronics” at www.snoco.org or call 425-388-3425. Latex paint recycling is being discontinued on the same date. Dried cans should go in the garbage. To dry paint more quickly, mix it with unused cat litter, sawdust, dirt, shredded paper or paint hardener. Hours of operation at county recycling and transfer-station hours are being shortened.
