This weekend aboard the Suquamish, our staff noted a person with green skin dressed as Santa stealing a Christmas tree. Thanks to their regular training to spot suspicious activity, and assisted by WSP, notorious criminal The Grinch was apprehended and placed in custody.

My new slogans/taglines 1. A bike in a bike lane is one less car in front of you 2. That bicyclist could be your neighbor. Be my neighbor. (I live in Pittsburgh, home of Mr. Rogers) 3. Want to be happier? Ride a bike! 4. Two wheels, fewer pills. Got others? #bikesky

The best part is seeing what happens when you give children a joyful way to start their day. They show up energized, confident, and connected. This is what happens when streets feel welcoming and movement is part of the morning routine. #BikeBus

Rush hour traffic in Utrecht. Sound on 🔊 if you want to experience that rush hour IS possible without the constant, deafening noise of cars overpowering people talking.

Good morning! While it was a mostly wet and windy weekend, our commodore Capt. Curt Larson managed to spot this glimpse of brightness amidst the stormy weather. Taken from aboard #Tokitae at our #Mukilteo terminal looking north toward Everett. #wawx

Yaquina Head Lighthouse Under the Milky Way Stood for a couple of hours on an empty beach, fighting the cold, condensation and boredom, until the galactic center of the Milky Way reached the right spot. #astroPhotography #photography #YaquinaHead #YaquinaHeadLighthouse #MilkyWay #artPhotography
Yaquina Head Lighthouse Under the Milky Way

Vertical color photo: The Milky Towers over the Yaquina Head Lighthouse  on the Oregon Coast. The lighthouse's lamp is lit, and the mist cause it to have 4 distinct spikes. It is also reflecting in the waters below the cliff formation it sits on. Overhead. and just to frame right of the lighthouse, the core of the Milky Way Galaxy is visible, with the arm of the Galaxy marching up and up and up across the sky.

Indulged in a last minute trip to the Oregon Coast because of a last minute opening in the weather forecast provided an opportunity to try to capture some Milky Way shots. Between the looming end of the Milky Way photo season in the Northern Hemisphere and the start of the Pacific NW's annual rainfest, astrophotography opportunities are extremely limited. Stood for a couple of hours on this bit of beach that's an unmarked city park, fighting the cold, condensation and boredom, waiting for the galactic center of the Milky Way to rotate to where I wanted it to be for this photo.
