從 8 月 10 日至 8 月 29 日西雅圖市中心南方的 I-5 將會全天後的施工… 這個在幾個星期前已經寫過了. Businesses think ahead to help workers avoid I-5 另一個重點是 8 月 10 日至 8 月 29 日這期間, 西雅圖市中心和 Sea-Tac 國際機場間的計程車 $28 標準價錢將暫時的取消, 而直接使用計時碼表. 一般計時碼表西雅圖市中心和 Sea-Tac 國際機場是約 $35. 可是由於這段期間的交通阻塞, 可能容易的就超過 $40 或 $50 元. 計程車的 Wait Time 是每分鐘 $0.50.

參加 Seafair Air Show 的 F-15…
[img=images/20070804_F15_1.jpg popup=false] [img=images/20070804_F15_2.jpg popup=false] Future of Flight and Boeing Tour 這個週末來了參加 Seafair Air Show 四架 F-15 的飛機. 她們會一直停到星期一早上九點多. Seafair Air Show 前後期間, 都可以看見她們起飛, 降落和飛行的身影. 第一次親眼看到 F-15 降落, 她降落的聲音也是最奇怪的, 還有那種好像拉線的聲音. 更棒的是, 直接的在 Future of Flight 前停車場就可以免費的近距離看見她們. 聚集的人不多, 所以停車非常的方便.

西雅圖市中心治安…
4 arrested in rush-hour shooting 昨天下班經過時已經是五點十幾分了, 封鎖的區域是 Pine Street 在第二街部份和整個第三街段之間. 不過公車司機很好心的廣播並讓我們提早下車, 而不用擠在車陣內. 第四街的交通沒有被影響到, 所以很順利的上了回家的公車. 六七年前, 因工作待到凌晨一兩點在市中心也不覺得有什麼. 只是西雅圖市中心治安已經到了這地步?
