In my public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe” (www.ricksteves.com/fascism), we learn from Europeans whose families lived through fascism that a strong democracy requires vigilant and engaged citizens. We are all participants, we are all responsible, and freedom isn’t guaranteed.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this works out. Focusing on more service on nights and weekends, new limited stop service, line consolidation, all cost-nuetral. Sounds promising, especially given the State it is located in.

This morning, I'm out to ride King County Metro Route 60. It's a crosstown route from Capitol Hill to Westwood Village. The route connects residential neighborhoods with various other transit connections like Link Light Rail and the Seattle Streetcar, all while not connecting through Downtown.
