+ <p><em>Extraordinary Least Squares</em> is located at the heart of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitol_Hill_(Seattle)">Capitol Hill</a> neighborhood at the following address:</p>
- <p>The best way to get ELS is by bike. Delmar Drive has bike lines in both directions and has good connections to the Bill Dawson trail, beautiful Interlaken Boulevard, and other bicycle infrastructure. We have plenty of places to park and lock your bike outside.</p>

+ <blockquote>908 15th Ave E<br />

- <p>When visiting us, walk through the metal gate and find our main door right beyond it. Ring our doorbell or call one of us when you are outside the door and we will let you in.</p>

- <h2>Bike Directions</h2>
-
- <p>Biking to our house from most areas of Seattle is relatively straight forward. Bicycle directions from online sources are generally going to be reliable.</p>
-
- <p>If you are coming from the west (e.g., from Fremont or Ballard on the Burke Gilman Trail), you should cross the ship canal on the University Bridge. <strong>Harvard Avenue East</strong> is the most direct route but it involves a relatively steep hill. An alternative route includes crossing the bridge onto <strong>Fuhrman Avenue East</strong> and then following that road as it changes into <strong>Boyer Avenue East</strong> before taking a right onto <strong>14th Avenue East</strong> and another right at to the top of that street onto <strong>Delmar Drive East</strong>.</p>

-
- <p>The best way of reaching the house from the University of Washington is shown in the figure above. Once you cross the Montlake bridge — but immediately before the onramp for 520 west — turn onto onto the <strong>Bill Dawson Trail</strong> which is a bike and pedestrian path that will take you under 520 and by a series of playfields. At the other side of the park, Wind your way two blocks south and two blocks east to and then follow <strong>Lynn/Delmar Drive East</strong> up the hill from the complicated intersection with a large divider in the middle.</p>
+ <p>When visiting us, walk through the fence door and go up the front porch steps. Ring our doorbell or call one of us when you are outside the door and we will let you in.</p>
<h2>Transit Directions</h2>
- <p>The best bus to our house is the <a href="http://metro.kingcounty.gov/schedules/049/s0.html">49</a> which will arrive at either the
- <a href="http://pugetsound.onebusaway.org/where/standard/schedule.action?id=1_11300">E Roanoke St & Broadway E</a> station if you are coming from downtown or Capitol Hill or across the street at the <a href="http://pugetsound.onebusaway.org/where/standard/schedule.action?id=1_10940">10th Ave E & E Roanoke St</a> station if you coming from the University District or north Seattle.</p>
+ <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>
- <p>If you are coming from downtown Seattle, Capitol Hill, or the airport, 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>.</p>
+ <h2>Bike Directions</h2>
- <p>If you are coming from the University district or north Seattle, the bus will let you off on the east side of 10th avenue. In this case, walk back opposite to the direction that the bus was traveling when you dismounted toward the park across the street. When you cross the street and arrive at the park, you will turn and walk toward your right.</p>
+ <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>Once you come to the end 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>We have plenty of places to park and lock your bike in the front yard and back garage.</p>
- <p>When you arrive at the house, call one of the proprietors when you have arrived outside.</p>
+<!-- <h2>Parking</h2> -->
- <p>The nearest bus stop is <a href="http://pugetsound.onebusaway.org/where/standard/schedule.action?id=1_25640">Boyer Ave E & 14th Ave E</a> but this stop is served only the <a href="http://metro.kingcounty.gov/schedules/025/s0.html">25</a> which runs to the University District and Laurelhurst. Because the bus runs relatively infrequently and only on weekdays, it's will not likely be the best option.</p>
+<!-- <h2>Airport Directions</h2> -->
- <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 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. Please do not park in the neighbors driveway!</p>
+ <h2>Contact Us</h2>
- <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>

+ <p><strong>Carolina Brum</strong><br /> Phone: (+1) 206-535-4247<br /> Email: carolina@carolinabrum.com</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</h3>
+ <p><strong>Lucy Lu Wang</strong><br /> Email: mail@llwang.net</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><strong>Bryan Newbold</strong><br /> Email: bnewbold@robocracy.org</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 (every 10-20 minutes all day until midnight and as late as 2:18am). You can install the free software phone application "OneBusAway" or view <a href="http://pugetsound.onebusaway.org/">the OneBusAway website</a> for real-time data on bus arrivals.</p>
- <p>Take the <strong>49</strong> north toward <strong>Broadway</strong> and the <strong>University District</strong>. Tapping your ORCA card at the bus entrance will register a "transfer" from the LINK which means 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>Once you have gotten off the bus, follow the instructions under "Transit Directions" above for directions from the bus stop to our house.</p>
