A month after Sound Transit finally opened its much-anticipated Crosslake Connection light rail stations, this week Seattle residents formally concluded their impressive, four-week run of acting like they ever wanted to take a train to Bellevue.
“Wow, that was hard—I don’t know how people on Broadway put on shows like this for months on-end,” said Seattle public transit advocate Jason Aronson as he and his friends took a bow and accepted bouquets of flowers from Sound Transit staff. “Thank you! Thank you very much! While it was difficult to pretend I really voluntarily wanted to spend free time in Bellevue, I hope everyone found it a meaningful performance.”
Bellevue residents had also wanted to put on a performance of wanting to take a train to Seattle this month but it was unfortunately canceled by rumors that Seattle is dying.
“We appreciate Seattle playing along and acting like they’d ever voluntarily take the train to Bellevue for anything but seeing the mountain out over Lake Washington on a beautiful day,” said Bellevue Mayor Mo Malakoutian. “We know the only reason anyone ever comes here is to work for a salary that makes it easier to afford living in Seattle.”
At press time, the Seattle-based public transit advocate actors were preparing for their most difficult performance yet: Getting excited about taking light rail to Fife.
