Well... Seattle has King County Metro.... which is the main public mode of transportation.

I think they have something like 1,300 buses. and most of them are the ones with the bendy middles, while there are some smaller ones with no bendy middles  I also think there are two kinds with th bendy middles... one thats longer and the other thats a bit shorter  No dubble deckers here.

Im a 14.5er living in Seattle. WAs born in LA then moved to Kentucky when I was 2 before moving to SEattle when I was 3. Ive also lived in greece fro about half a year.

(Both my parents are from Europe)

My favorite airline is UA and I wish that they'ed add ANC,SAN,JFK/EWR,HNL, and all those other destinations back. I dont like NW/DL and I have mized feelings for AS, but Iwish that they would add SLC,DTW,IAH,AUS,ATL, MSY, JFK, and IAD. As for Horizon, they are my fav regional carrier and I love the Q400 with QX's service. I think they should new destinations in Canada and the Inter-mountain west like Castlegar, Redding (direct), Crescent City (direct), Pocatello, readd Butte, Moses Lake, Olympia, etc.

My fav plane of all time is the 757-200 followed by the -300. Then comes the A321-200 and the Tu-154M in a tie. Followed by 767,777-300,747,A340,737,777-200,MD-11,A330.

I hate all other A320 series planes and I hate the DC-9/MD-80 planes

Most used plane on AM.... 737-sometyhing.

How come your snow hasnt melted....? It should have all melted with the sotrm on Thursday/Wednesday that had highs around 10C in many places

Because it always freezes overnight..,

Well people are estmiating over 125 million dollars in damages, not including lost business, I-5 is still closed as are other passes 

We have an estimated 40mil in 2008... don't know anything about the flooding in 2009 though.

Where do you live in Vancouver....? All my friends there say that the snow melted way back last week... 

Dooskie - I agree, there are only a few places that rival the PNC's beauty.

When you walk on the sidewalk, every few steps you sink a foot down. Its not melting very much because of the layer of ice on top of the snow. at least the big streets are safe for driving...

Also, Arctic air in Alaska is so cold that its gotten down  to -60F (-50C?) in places.... this is the air thats forecasted to make the end of January and most of February extremely cold 

Dooskie.... where do you live now?

General Chat / Historic Flooding in Washington

« on: January 09, 2009, 06:31:37 am »

Here in Washington and ORego and I presume B.C. we are dealing with epic and historic flooding..... man heavily poulated areas and places that have not flooded since settled are and are forecasted to keep on flooding through the weekend.... were talking about 3-6 feet of water in places that have never, ever seen flooding. We had something similar last year, but on in one part of the state... which was also bad, but not as long.

I-5 the main road between Seattle and Portland has been closed from Olympia (the state capital) down for another 20 miles, due to washed roads and flooding... Rivers in that area have crested at around 70 feet (the big ones) and all rivers there are in record or near record flooding. All the passes through the mountains to EAstern Washington have been closed, I-90, Stevens Pass, White Pass, Mt. Baker Ps, and Columbia Gorge highway. Luckily, Stevens pass has been reopened 1 way each.... but they may have to close again tomorrow for avalanche control.

Additionally, all side streets and rail service between seattle and portland has been cancelled.... meaning a large boost in flights on UA and Horizon between SEattle and Portland. Like an extra 15 dailys for tomorrow and the weekend.


Essentially, Seattle is cut of by land is only accesable by plane... and I guess water but there are no out of state ferries other than to B.C..... Seattle is lucky, we dont have any major rivers near us, but to our south, a big city called Tacoma has 6 feet of water in many places. A major farming and populated are in Snohomish and Skagit counties, to the North had flooding... in places which have never had it before. Luckily... no one has died, but there ahve been many close calls and already, 4-5 million dollars in direct damage has been done, not including final totals and public damage to people livelyhoods. First 12-30 inches of snow... then 4-15 inches of rain ontop of that (the monutains got like 15-20 inches of rain) that spells disaster. Just updating the situation to anyone who's heard.
