    Just a heads up the boat tracker hasn’t worked for a while since they have been using the Spirit of Kingston on the West Seattle route. Also is there a better avenue than the King County Metro website to file a complaint about the 56 bus. It has been canceled so often these days and today decided to run 15 minutes early following directly behind the 57??? Merry Christmas to the ground. Thanks for the soaking walk down to the water taxi KCM.

Sorry, comment time is over.
