    Theresa’s pic instantly made me think of the  Beatles song…Blackbird sing in the dead of night, take these broken wings and learn to fly 🎶

    I got an updated reply from King County about my inquiry to them earlier this week regarding water taxi service on Friday. It seems they will now have service for the Sounders game.”We have been asked to provide service for the Sounders game on Friday, 11/10. We will have sailings available Friday evening from Pier 50 to West Seattle starting at 4:30 p.m. with the last departure from West Seattle at 11:00 p.m.”

Sorry, comment time is over.
