Going car-lite

[Eden]

Wow Jenn - that seems super expensive for the train.... even the Sounder train up here only costs at most $4.75 per person - and that is to go all the way to the next city (either to Tacoma or Everett).

If you get a full fare regional pass up here (its good in 5 different counties and on the inter-county Sounder system) it can cost up to $171 a month (that's if you have a max fare commute) - *but* local governments give huge incentives to employers to lower SOV commuting around here, so I get a permanent (well, as long as I work there) one totally free through my work (and that's on top of incentives given to cyclists ). A fair number of the big companies up here give free or reduced passes of some sort.
