- -Extraordinary Least Squares will open its - doors in early October, 2013. Any inquiries can be directed to - the proprietors - at team@leastsquar.es.
Extraordinary Least Squares is located at the + heart of + central Fremont + at the following address:
+ +920 N 34th Street, Apt 16+ +
+ Seattle, WA 98103
When visiting us, please enter through the building's + back door which you can find in an alley between + 34th and 35th streets which one can + reach from either Troll Ave or Albion. You'll see a garage door + with large metal bars and a small door to the left (pictured + below). Call us when you are outside this door and we will let you + in.
+ + + + +A taxi from SeaTac airport to Extraordinary Least + Squares should cost $50-60 (with tip) and take about 30 + minutes â but might take much more with traffic. Mass + transit requires one transfer, costs $2.75, and take about an + hour.
+ +At SeaTac airport, follow signs to ground transportation + and to + the LINK + light rail 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 ORCA cards 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 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.
+ +Take the LINK train until the University + Street station which take 36 minutes and stop at 11 + stops. At University Street, you will need to change to a bus to + Fremont. Note there is no cellular network in the + University Street station, so you may want to get a copy of these + directions before you arrive there.
+ +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 3rd + 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 3rd Avenue, walk north + (again, the same direction of the train) + to 3rd Avenue and Union Street + (one block up) and look for a large bus stop with several + shelters with the following buses numbers written on + it: 40, 26, 28. These buses all come down + 3rd 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 OneBusAway + for real-time data on bus arrivals.
+ +Take any 40, 26, or 28 bus North + to Fremont. 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 FREMONT AVE and N 34TH ST which + will be displayed on a digital display on the ceiling at the + front of the bus.
+ +Take a right after immediately exiting the bus and take a + left when you come to the intersection (Fremont Ave & + 34th). Walk down 34th (you should pass + this + sculpture of people waiting, usually dressed up, on the + other side of the street) as you walk toward, and then under, the + enormous "Aurora" bridge and across Troll + Avenue. Extraordinary Least Squares is in a + building called St. James Tower on the + left.
+ +The best 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.
+ +Street parking is available around our building but be + sure to read signs closely because our guests have been + ticketed. The closest free street parking is on Troll + Ave. It is two hour parking during the day but is + unrestricted overnight and on Sundays. Parking on + 35th is generally free except between 8pm and + 12am and the signs can be hard to see. There are two + self-serve pay lots on either side of the building in the + alley between 34th and 35th but read + the signs carefully before you park because some of the + space is shared with businesses during the week. If you + contact us well in advance, we might be able to get + permission to use an unused spot within our building from + the building manager.
