The light rail is cool but most of the action is in the far-off suburbs, with stations many miles apart. And only one long line so far (they're building a second, to the wealthy East Side, but they had a construction mixup and had to rip up the tracks on the bridge across Lake Washington and do it over. Most of the city is not served, though there are plans. Schedule a return visit for 2060 and you should see something exciting! Assuming the city isn't under water (or ash) by then.<br /><br />I am a huge fan of Liverpool (the city, not the football club).

Come out here to visit and I will shock and disgust you with how appalling our rail "service" is. It's not unusual to sit motionless in a field waiting for an hour or two for two mile-long freight trains to pass. And you can't walk between stations because they're 30 miles apart.
