Location

A cul de sac in Redmond, south of Grass Lawn Park.

Participants

coyotebush

Plans

All day rain, so definitely transit over bike. Nearby Old Redmond Rd is served by King County Metro route 245 every 15 minutes on weekdays (as well as route 225 hourly); 148th Ave NE to the east additionally has route 221 and the RapidRide B Line. In any case, this would be a three-seat ride from my home (i.e. require two transfers), which is a bit of a slog. However, I had already planned to take transit to downtown Seattle for the morning, whence the hash would only be a two-seat ride. So two destinations for six seats overall, not so bad.

Expedition

Chilly in the storm - maybe should have worn a heavier coat. I tried a new lunch spot downtown and emerged just in time to catch a Sound Transit route 545 express bus taking the freeways towards Redmond.

Was already downtown for the morning. Caught a 545. -- Coyotebush (talk) @47.6134,-122.3361 12:59, 25 April 2024 (PDT)

Transferred to the 245 at Redmond Technology station, which will also have light rail service starting on Saturday. Then a short walk into a quiet neighborhood. Seemed less chilly out there.

I could have retraced my route to Redmond Technology, but since Google Maps said it was barely slower I opted to continue west on the 245 for variety. But first I ventured into the park to find a restroom. Transferred to the 255 towards Seattle a few stops short of downtown Kirkland, which turned out to be right next to Google's Kirkland campus.
