No mention of how contractors get the boot on this service. We must account for at least 30% of the work force at MS, we're also the ones who actually need a free ride to work! I see the giant-ass connector every day as I go to my hour-long Metro route. Metro busses are free to orange badges, but they are so, so slow. One of these days I may get my Rosa Parks on and see what happens!
Quoted: Fed up with commuter delays and an inadequate public transportation system, Microsoft will start its own regional bus system. It's also a way to attract the brightest employees, the company says.

Alright! This makes me proud to live here. I'd love to see more laws like this. Oh wait, this is just Seattle proper ... we still live on the lame East Side ... we are working on leaving though!
Quoted: Seattle is now one of the few major American cities to impose a fee on the use of disposable bags. ... In a related action, the City Council also banned plastic foam food and drink containers.

Ooh, the annual Bal des Pompiers dinner will feature a chef whose book I've been tripping over around the house lately. I guess that means we're going! Anyone else down for an evening of a amazing French food and dancing to ring in Bastille Day?
Quoted: The Bal des Pompiers (Firemen’s ball) is a great tradition in France and is part of the celebration for the Bastille Day. The night before or on Bastille Day, July 14, the firemen of each city and village are hosts of their 'Bal des pompiers' which often includes live music and partying in the streets. On the main square of any villages, people enjoy great live bands, usually with accordions, and eat, drink and dance with the firemen under the warm summer night sky.

I'm taking some out of town friends on this tour Saturday. I think it's interesting without being super touristy. Anyone have some other good ideas for Seattley fun for peeps who have never been to Seattle? What's a good seafood restaurant with a view that's not crazy-expensive? Can you tell I haven't lived here very long?
