- <h2>Visit Us</h2>
-
- <p><em>Extraordinary Least Squares</em> is located at the
- heart of
- central <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fremont,_Seattle">Fremont</a>
- at the following address:</p>
-
- <blockquote>920 N 34<sup>th</sup> Street, Apt 16<br />
- Seattle, WA 98103</blockquote>
-
- <p>When visiting us, please <strong>enter through the
- building's back door</strong> which you can find
- in <strong>an alley between 34<sup>th</sup> and
- 35<sup>th</sup> streets</strong> which one can reach from
- either Troll Ave or Albion. You'll see a garage door with
- large metal bars and a small door with a sign warning video
- surveillance to the right of it. Call us when you are
- outside this door and we will let you in.</p>
-
- <h2>Airport Directions</h2>
-
- <p>A taxi from SeaTac airport to <strong>Extraordinary Least
- Squares</strong> should cost about $50 and take about 30
- minutes — but might take <em>much</em> more with
- traffic. Mass transit requires one transfer, costs $2.75,
- and take about an hour.</p>
-
- <h3>Mass Transit Directions</h3>
-
- <p>At SeaTac airport, follow signs to ground transportation
- and to
- the <a href="http://www.soundtransit.org/rider-guide/link-light-rail">LINK
- light rail</a> which is located at the far left of the main
- terminal on the check-in level. At the light rail station,
- you can buy tickets
- and <a href="http://www.orcacard.com">ORCA cards</a> which
- are reusable on all Seattle-area mass transit. You can also
- buy a single-use paper ticket. If you buy an ORCA card, you
- will need to tap it on a yellow terminal both before you
- enter, and after you exit the train. The tapping areas are
- easy to find.</p>
-
- <p>Take the LINK train until the <strong>University
- Street</strong> station which take 36 minutes and stop at 11
- stops. At University Street, you will need to change to a bus to
- Fremont.</p>
-
- <p>The LINK station is underground and the buses to Fremont
- travel on the street above. In the station, walk in the
- direction of the train and go up the stairs to the north
- platform. Follow signs for an exit onto 3<sup>rd</sup>
- Avenue and University which should be to the left if you are
- facing the direction of the train Avenue. You should exit
- onto the east side of 3<sup>rd</sup> Avenue, walk north
- (again, the same direction of the train)
- to <strong>3<sup>rd</sup> Avenue and Union Street</strong>
- (one block up) and look for a large bus stop with several
- shelters with the following buses numbers written on
- it: <strong>40, 26, 28</strong>. These buses all come down
- 3<sup>rd</sup> Avenue frequently and should arrive within
- 10-15 minutes at almost any time except between midnight and
- 5:00am. You can install the free software phone application
- or view the website
- for <a href="http://pugetsound.onebusaway.org/">OneBusAway</a>
- for real-time data on bus arrivals.</p>
-
- <p>Take any <strong>40, 26, or 28</strong> bus <strong>North
- to Fremont</strong>. Tapping your ORCA card at bus entrance
- will register a "transfer" from the LINK and you will not be
- charged for the bus. Stay on the bus for about 20 minutes to
- the stop at <strong>FREMONT AVE and N 34TH ST</strong> which
- will be displayed on a digital display on the ceiling at the
- front of the bus.</p>
-
- <p>Take a right after immediately exiting the bus and take a
- left when you come to the intersection (Fremont Ave &
- 34<sup>th</sup>). Walk down 34<sup>th</sup> (you should pass
- <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waiting_for_the_Interurban">this
- sculpture of people waiting, usually dressed up</a>, on the
- other side of the street) as you walk toward, and then under, the
- enormous "Aurora" bridge and across Troll
- Avenue. <strong>Extraordinary Least Squares</strong> is in a
- building called <strong>St. James Tower</strong> on the
- left. </p>
-
- <p>The west way to get to our apartment is through the
- apartment's back door which means you will take a left on
- Troll Ave (up the hill) and then a right down the first
- alley you come to. You can follow the directions under
- "Visit Us" above. Call one of the proprietors when you have
- arrived outside.</p>

+ <h2>Transit Directions</h2>
- </ul>
+ <p>ELS is easily accessible by a number of different transport options. The <a href="https://kingcounty.gov/depts/transportation/metro/schedules-maps/010.aspx">King County Metro Route 10</a> bus runs directly between us and downtown with a stop at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitol_Hill_station">Capitol Hill Link station</a>. Alternatively, it's a 15-20 minute walk from the Link station to the house.</p>
+
+ <h2>Bike Directions</h2>
+
+ <p>The house is easily accessible by bicycle although Capitol Hill is a serious hill! Here are our best methods for minimizing the hills:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>If you are coming from the south, taking 12th Avenue to Aloha will minimize the grade.</li>
+ <li>If you are coming from the University of Washington, cross the Montlake Bridge and 520 on the Lake Washington (East) side and then weave your way back to 25th Ave E. Take a quick right on Boyer, left on 24th, and right on Interlaken Blvd East. Interlaken Blvd will become a beautiful wooded bike path before intersecting with Interlaken Drive East. A left onto Interlaken Drive will get you almost to the top of the hill. At the end of Interlaken Drive, take a right on Galer Street and a left on 17th Ave E which will take you to Aloha and to our house.</li>
+ <li>The <a href="https://www.soundtransit.org/ride-with-us/know-before-you-go/bringing-your-bike/how-to-bring-your-bike-link">Link light rail allows bikes</a>! So you can take the train and an elevator to (almost) the top of the hill.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>We have plenty of places to park and lock your bike in the front yard and back garage.</p>
