Sounder Commuting

by Adron B. Hall

As promised!

Just for some context, I work 4 10 hr days on my current job I’m wrapping up. This last week I went on site, which is in Tacoma, but stayed in Seattle and utilized the reverse commute Sounder Train to get to and from work.

I stayed at a hotel close to the King Street Station called Pioneer Hotel (owned by Best Western, but it is a nice boutique style hotel built in 1914). From there I’d rise in the morning and walk the dozen blocks to King Street Station. Once I arrived in Tacoma I’d take the streetcar to downtown Tacoma where I’d go to work. Transit rocks, and definitely commuter rail!
