Seattle Adventure

When my friends and I heard that Obama was going to speak in Seattle, there was no question of whether or not to go. The only problem was no one had a car and parking would be a nightmare. It seemed that the bus to Seattle was the perfect solution. I went onto piercetransit.org and planned out my trip from the University all the way to Key Area in Seattle. Everything went smoothly until we walked out of Key Area to find the bus back. I looked at my itinerary and suddenly realized that I had mixed up a.m. and p.m. when planning my trip. My schedule was planned for 2:30 a.m. on obscure bus routes that I had never heard of. But we had to get home. We followed the flow of people to the bus stops, asked the locals for directions, and somehow ended up in downtown Seattle. By then, of course, it had started to rain and we hadn't eaten in about 8 hours. After calling home for directions that proved unhelpful, my friend and I decided to use our heads and figure out a way home. The one place I knew in Seattle was King's Station so using our map-reading skills, we planned out a route to King's Station. Two hours after leaving Key Area, we arrived wet, hungry, but very proud at King's Station. We had made it!
