43 <h1>Extraordinary Least Squares</h1>
46 <p>Located in Seattle's vibrant
47 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fremont,_Seattle">Fremont
48 neighborhood</a>, <strong>Extraordinary Least
49 Squares</strong> is an exclusive living and working
50 space dedicated to supporting and promoting quantitative
51 research methodology, free software and free culture, and
52 innovative food and drink.</p>

72 back door</strong> which you can find in <strong>an alley between
73 34<sup>th</sup> and 35<sup>th</sup> streets</strong> which one can

82 <h2>Airport Directions</h2>
84 <p>A taxi from SeaTac airport to <strong>Extraordinary Least
85 Squares</strong> should cost $50-60 (with tip) and take about 30
86 minutes — but might take <em>much</em> more with traffic. Mass
87 transit requires one transfer, costs $2.75, and take about an
90 <h3>Mass Transit Directions</h3>
92 <p>At SeaTac airport, follow signs to ground transportation
94 the <a href="http://www.soundtransit.org/rider-guide/link-light-rail">LINK
95 light rail</a> which is located at the far left of the main
96 terminal on the check-in level. At the light rail station,
98 and <a href="http://www.orcacard.com">ORCA cards</a> which
99 are reusable on all Seattle-area mass transit. You can also
100 buy a single-use paper ticket. If you buy an ORCA card, you
101 will need to tap it on a yellow terminal both before you
102 enter, and after you exit the train. The terminal at the airport station
103 is before the ticket machines, so you will need to backtrack slightly
104 to tap your card if you buy it at the airport.</p>
106 <p>Take the LINK train until the <strong>University
107 Street</strong> station which take 36 minutes and stop at 11
108 stops. At University Street, you will need to change to a bus to
109 Fremont. Note there is <strong>no cellular network</strong> in the
110 University Street station, so you may want to get a copy of these
111 directions before you arrive there.</p>
113 <p>The LINK station is underground and the buses to Fremont
114 travel on the street above. In the station, walk in the
115 direction of the train and go up the stairs to the north
116 platform. Follow signs for an exit onto 3<sup>rd</sup>
117 Avenue and University which should be to the left if you are
118 facing the direction of the train Avenue. You should exit
119 onto the east side of 3<sup>rd</sup> Avenue, walk north
120 (again, the same direction of the train)
121 to <strong>3<sup>rd</sup> Avenue and Union Street</strong>
122 (one block up) and look for a large bus stop with several
123 shelters with the following buses numbers written on
124 it: <strong>40, 26, 28</strong>. These buses all come down
125 3<sup>rd</sup> Avenue frequently and should arrive within
126 10-15 minutes at almost any time except between midnight and
127 5:00am. You can install the free software phone application
129 for <a href="http://pugetsound.onebusaway.org/">OneBusAway</a>
130 for real-time data on bus arrivals.</p>
132 <p>Take any <strong>40, 26, or 28</strong> bus <strong>North
133 to Fremont</strong>. Tapping your ORCA card at bus entrance
134 will register a "transfer" from the LINK and you will not be
135 charged for the bus. Stay on the bus for about 20 minutes to
136 the stop at <strong>FREMONT AVE and N 34TH ST</strong> which
137 will be displayed on a digital display on the ceiling at the
138 front of the bus.</p>
140 <p>Take a right after immediately exiting the bus and take a
141 left when you come to the intersection (Fremont Ave &
142 34<sup>th</sup>). Walk down 34<sup>th</sup> (you should pass
143 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_for_the_Interurban">this
144 sculpture of people waiting, usually dressed up</a>, on the
145 other side of the street) as you walk toward, and then under, the
146 enormous "Aurora" bridge and across Troll
147 Avenue. <strong>Extraordinary Least Squares</strong> is in a
148 building called <strong>St. James Tower</strong> on the
151 <p>The best way to get to our apartment is through the
152 apartment's back door which means you will take a left on
153 Troll Ave (up the hill) and then a right down the first
154 alley you come to. You can follow the directions under
155 "Visit Us" above. Call one of the proprietors when you have
160 <p>Street parking is available around our building but be
161 sure to read signs closely because our guests have been
162 ticketed. The closest free street parking is on Troll
163 Ave. It is two hour parking during the day but is
164 unrestricted overnight and on Sundays. Parking on
165 35<sup>th</sup> is generally free except between 8pm and
166 12am and the signs can be hard to see. There are two
167 self-serve pay lots on either side of the building in the
168 alley between 34<sup>th</sup> and 35<sup>th</sup> but read
169 the signs carefully before you park because some of the
170 space is shared with businesses during the week. If you
171 contact us well in advance, we might be able to get
172 permission to use an unused spot within our building from
173 the building manager.</p>
