<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>
+ <p>A taxi from SeaTac airport to <strong>Extraordinary Least Squares</strong> should cost $50-60 (with tip) and take about 25 minutes — but might take <em>much</em> more with traffic. App-based ride systems should cost under $40. 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, follow signs for
- an exit onto 3<sup>rd</sup> Avenue. On 3<sup>rd</sup>
- Avenue, walk north to <strong>3<sup>rd</sup> Avenue and
- Union Street</strong> and look for a bus stop 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
- sculture 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. Call one of the proprietors when you have arrived
- outside.</p>
+ <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 although the paper ticket does not support transfers so the ORCA card will be nearly cost-effective on the ride to ELS from the airport alone.</p>
+
+ <p>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 terminal at the airport station is before the ticket machines, so you will need to backtrack slightly to tap your card if you buy it at the airport.</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. Note there is <strong>no cellular network</strong> in the University Street station, so you may want to get a copy of these directions before you arrive there.</p>
+
+ <p>The LINK station is underground and the buses you will want to take 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. You should exit onto the east side of 3<sup>rd</sup> Avenue. When outside, walk south (i.e., the opposite direction of the train) to <strong>3<sup>rd</sup> Avenue and Seneca Street</strong> (one block back) and look for a large bus stop that lists the 49 route. The 49 leaves frequently (10-20 minutes until midnight and as late as 2:18am). 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 the <strong>49</strong> <strong>North toward Broadway and the University District</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>E Roanoke St & Broadway E</strong> which will be displayed on a digital display on the ceiling at the front of the bus.</p>
+
+ <p>The bus will drop you at the southwest corner of <strong>Roanoke Park</strong>. Walk back across the park opposite of the direction the bus was traveling when you dismounted along <strong>East Roanoke Street</strong>. At the other side of the park, you will cross <strong>10th Avenue</strong> and then cross cross <strong>East Roanoke</strong> itself as the road turns to the right. Walk past a small parking lot and park (<strong>Bagley Viewpoint</strong>) and then over a freeway overpass. As it crossed over the freeway, the road's name has changed to <strong>Delmar Drive East</strong> and our house will be on the right 480 meters (0.3 miles) from the bus stop.</p>
+
+ <p>When you arrive at the house, call one of the proprietors when you have arrived outside.</p>
+
+ <h2>Parking</h2>
+
+ <p>Delmar Drive East has bikes lanes on both sides (<strong>Yay!</strong>) but no street parking. The house has a carport (where the silver car is parked in the picture) which can might be able to fit a car in addition to the car that lives at the house if we have advance notice. Additionally, there is also a small driveway (where the blue and black cars are parked in the picture) that is normally unused but can fit two cars — especially if one is willing to be parked in.</p>
+
+ <p>Street parking seems to be available on <strong>14th Avenue E</strong> which is the nearest cross street on Delmar and is very near our house. Short-term parking is also available in the <strong>Bagley Viewpoint</strong> parking lot.</p>
