A cool piece of advice about the new 1 Line extension

Simply take the 500 to Federal Way from downtown and transfer to the light rail instead of taking the 574. This works any day of the week, most excitingly on Saturday imo as previously you had to take the 574 to go anywhere, and skips all the traffic between Federal Way and Seattle that the 574 might get stuck in. On a good cycle you can get from Commerce St. to the U District in slightly over an hour, and this works going south as well. Total cost is 5$ each way but might be lower with transfers, I haven't tested it yet.
