2. Wish there were some Public Transportation Options from Seattle

Like maybe the Sounder Trains - but it doesn't look like it.

3. I was wondering about Public Transportation as well--

I'll be coming from the Kitsap Peninsula and it looks like I am going to have to bring a car. I'm just planning on arriving very early so that I can find some parking, somewhere.

5. How about Amtrak?

The train station is not that far from the Dome. Is there a train that can get you down there and back?

6. Found a transportation link that might help!

That is a regional trip planner for King and Pierce Counties. You enter your trip parameters, and it supposedly will give you info on what public trans to take. There are ST Express buses that go from King to Pierce County.. I think you'll find something... I hope!

7. Thanks - should have done my own homework

4. Does the Kerry campaign realize there is another BIG event there?

I was pretty shocked to see this date and location. They are having a LARGE arts and music festival at the same time IN the Dome that day.. same time. Wish they had thought of that.. it will make this much more insane.. SOOOO glad he's coming!!! I'm in the town next to Tacoma.. But man, bad timing.

8. Wish they'd announced it sooner.

I'm going to be in eastern Washington this weekend. Visiting my sister and her family. Can't change my plans at the last minute.

9. Everett Anyone?

Will anyone be at the Everett event? I am going to miss it and I'm just sick about it. Could you post and give the details so I can live through you vicariously.
