Everyone knows you head down to Federal Way for Korean food. It's pretty obvious once you start…read moreseeing business signs in Hangul off Pac Hwy. Now you can get here by taking the light rail. The light rail connection from Federal Way to Sea-Tac Airport and Downtown Seattle is a big win for the South End. It's pretty convenient since it's close to the I-5 ramps. I know it'll be a drop off point for folks heading to the airport, work and school. The best thing about the 1 line is that it takes you right into downtown Seattle and UW without having to transfer to other lines. Plus, if you get on at the Federal Way station you'll get first dibs on prime seats. Hi-Five, right? Just like the named art piece at the station. The track feels like the Canada Line SkyTrain from Richmond to Vancouver, BC. No fare gates so fare evasion happens all the time. No platform screen doors like Sea-Tac Airport's underground trains so pay attention and don't fall on the tracks. As for tourism, some people may opt to stay in hotels in Federal Way rather than downtown Seattle or SeaTac. With this new light rail station, it's only a couple stops away from Sea-Tac Airport and less than an hour to Westlake Station/Downtown Seattle. I'm sure hotel shuttles will be a common sight at this station too. I always saw shuttles at the Angle Lake station whenever I dropped fam and friends off. They have public restrooms at this station. Hopefully during Summer 2026 they'll have enough Honey Buckets for stations that don't have restrooms. With all the games, concerts, and special events at the stadiums plus heatwaves there's going to be a lot of beverage consumption. Federal Way doesn't have free on-demand shuttle service like Bellevue. People will still have to use their car to navigate around the business district. As Federal Way grows, I'm curious how the city will shift from being car-centric to pedestrian-friendly. They don't have to reinvent the wheel. They just have to study the growth blueprint of Lynnwood and Redmond, ask them about their successes and failures, then apply whatever fits the needs of this South End community. I just hope Federal Way finds passionate, experienced urban planners who have the best interest for this area. I'm ok if the city takes their time strategically planning growth as long as they're thoughtful about the PNW environment and the people they serve. Anyway, the Federal Way Link Extension grand opening was a fun celebration. Lots of people showed up. Not everyone was able to get on the first NB train though. They had food trucks, activities, and pop-up tents with freebies and swag bags plus they had ST Merch. It was a successful party. Next up? The 2 Line Crosslake Connection.

From homeless people strung out on drugs, to people approaching you for money, in broad day light around 3 pm, there is a lot of police activity that makes me alert during my daily commute. The morning commute isn't so bad as most of the working individuals huddle together and the transit station worker is diligent with updates but arriving back to the station is a whole other experience. The other day, all of the sounder trains uptown and downtown were shut down due to somebody abandoning a stolen car on the tracks after a high speed police chase. Scary. Also the other day while waiting for my ride, a random gentleman approached me insisting he'd give me a ride. No thanks - creepy and scary.

A couple of them are really good hard working people, but others just spoil everything. The dispatchers usually are very nice. But most of the time, after the cab arrives, the cab drivers insist heavily on "Cash" only. In fact some drivers totally deny giving you a ride if you don't have cash on you. They give reasons like "credit card machine doesn't work", "there is a charge for us if you use credit card" and all bullshit. I have had a situation before where cab came half an hour late at times. "Couldn't find the place" or they will wait for you totally somewhere on the main road and not in your area to pick up in spite of them having GPS. So you have to walk all the way there. Today was the worst. I waived a cab on the road, got in, the cab driver rudely asked me for a flat charge totally overpriced. Since it was overpriced, I told him "no" go by the meter (if it was close to the normal rate, I would have accepted. but this guy was rude and it was 50% overpriced). He said "No, get out of the cab". GET OUT OF THE CAB ? WHO THE F DO YOU THINK YOU ARE ? CAB 587. I asked him for the information sheet which every cab driver is suppose to display to the customer on the back of the front passenger sheet, he said he didn't have it. I told him I want to complain, he is like do what you want, my cab no. is 587. So I am doing what I want, I called up the company to complain and here for the review. Got out, waived again, two other cabs from other companies stopped by. Got in, next company took me without meter, but a normal charge. Not taking Green Cab anymore. P.S. - Some of them drive like crazy !

My family of 4 took a trip out to Tacoma WA to visit with relatives, and at the recommendation of…read moreclose family, we made reservations with All City Airport Car Service. We needed a car seat and a booster seat for our children ages 4 and 7, and were told those would be available and ready when the car arrived. When the car did arrive, we watched our driver, Chris, opened the trunk, fetched a car seat and booster seat, tossed both onto the backseat, then stood by the opened trunk and watched as my husband loaded the luggage. Then as I wrangled my children and kept them away from airport traffic, I witnessed Chris circle back to the front seat, get in, close the door, buckle up, and then simply sit and watch as my husband again struggle for a good 10-15 minutes to attach and secure both the car seat and booster. If there were any legality that may have prevented Chris from setting up the car seat and booster seat beforehand, we were not informed. He said nothing. He did nothing. He just watched. The final straw was the state of the car seat: visibly grimy with dark stains. It looked like it was picked up on the side of the road or fished out of the dumpster somewhere. Our 4-year old became so frightened, he fought us and cried as we bit our tongue and strapped him in. The booster seat was in no better shape, but our 7-year old handled it better--kudos to him. The car itself, at least, was clean. The driving was safe, thank goodness, but the ride reflected its driver's bitter and sour mood. Our conclusion? Never again. If you are a family traveling with young children, take note.

Over the course of four days, I was given four completely different SUV price quotes, each time blamed on a "system" or "technical" error. The rates changed repeatedly with no clear explanation or accountability. If a company cannot consistently generate an accurate quote, it raises serious concerns about their ability to deliver service on the day of travel. This process was disorganized, frustrating, and a complete waste of time. I ultimately cancelled the reservation and would not trust this company for any future travel.
