[mSeattle]

A friend and I took the 510 Sound Transit bus up I-5 one Sunday this summer to check out a little town with a guy's name. The weather was great and we walked around almost all of downtown. Interesting shop fronts, churches, (even peculiar) art and pocket parks. I was going to try to get to more small towns in Washington this summer but never got around to it. Well, here's downtown Everett with a little bit of southside neighborhood thrown in.

Hope you liked.

[OhioGuy]

Nice to see some Everett pics on here.

[PA Pride]

nice work.

[mhays]

I'll have to do one of those trips.

Or maybe try the commuter rail on a weekday. Do they do reverse commutes yet?

[mSeattle]

There's some kind of agreement with Amtrak to provide reverse commute on one or two runs. I can't remember the details but it's on their web site.

[ColDayMan]

Thanks!

[Thundertubs]

Good to see Everett. Ax fighting sounds like it would be over real fast.

[mhays]

I don't think they have reverse commutes. But here's an announcement from last week (for those not familiar, the Seattle area has two commuter rail lines, but both are for commute times only, perhaps 10 trips per day combined):

"Puget Sound train service expands Monday
Sound Transit will add three roundtrip Sounder trains to its weekday schedule starting Monday (Sept. 22), two between Seattle and Tacoma and one between Seattle and Everett. The additions will include a "reverse" roundtrip between Tacoma and Seattle.

The "reverse" trip will leave Seattle at 6:50 a.m. and depart Tacoma for the return leg at 5:35 p.m. An 8 a.m. northbound trip from Tacoma will also be added, with its return leg leaving Seattle at 6:45 p.m. An earlier Everett-to-Seattle train will be added that leaves Everett at 5:45 a.m.

The new trains are part of Sound Transit's initial system plan and are not part of the proposed "Sound Transit 2" expansion program to be decided by voters in November.

Sound Transit spokeswoman Linda Robson said Sounder fares will remain the same for the rest of this year, though rising fuel costs will be considered when next year's budget is written."

[mSeattle]

Ok, I got it now. The Tacoma-to-Seattle and Everett-to-Seattle routes have two Amtrak runs, part of a "Rail Plus Program".

The June-Sept. schedule book showed that the Everett line had a 7:40AM northbound (reverse) trip, arriving in Everett at 8:31AM. There was a 6:10AM run from Seattle and arriving in Tacoma at 7:10AM.

Maybe they jumped the gun on printing this before it got worked out.

[Hoodrat]

cool...rare to see Everett around here

[denveraztec]

Wonderful pics!
