·         the Clean Energy Bill (SB 5116).

Everyone is invited to attend the signing at 3 pm at Central Park across from Neighborhood House 4410 29th Avenue South Seattle, WA.

 

Now some custom RantWoman travel admonishments

Please DO NOT drive your SOV to this event. Parking will be terrible. Bus and Light Rail connections are awesome. RantWoman will let bicyclists speak for themselves.

 

Ride Link to Columbia city. Walk N on MLK to Columbian Way. RantWoman prefers the W side of the street.  RantWoman also prefers to cross Columbian Way at MLK because there is a good accessible ped signal. Turn Left onto Columbian Way and turn right on 29^th Ave S. The park is about a block N of the turn. Sidewalk is fairly new and the corners have ramps and truncated domes.

 

Or ride Metro Route 106 to Columbian way. Southbound, the walking directions just omit the segment from the Light Rail. Northbound, it is necessary to cross Martin Luther King. Cross on the N side of Columbian Way and then follow the directions above.

 

These directions are great for anyone who can walk 2-4 blocks on decent sidewalk.

 

If walking that distance from the light rail seems too much, there is the hip and trendy download the new Via app to book a ride from the Columbia City light rail to the event. Sometimes traffic gets disrupted for special events but leave a comment to tell RantWoman your experience.
