yay obama, boo traffic.

thanks for the heads up mgoss!

It's always cool when Air Force One makes a stop here, though. Although if I had to commute I might think differently.

Thanks! I just sent that to DH. He commutes from SLU to Redmond. Thank goodness he takes the bus.

UGH! Yay Obama sure but I hate how these are always such a surprise to me. I guess I need to watch the news more. ...or just rely on Mgoss! Thanks for the heads up. I commute Lynnwood to First Hill/Seattle and back.

Mgoss, what is your route?

[madDawg228]

My commute is via bus, and from Bellevue to Northgate. I'll be heading west as he's heading east, pretty much at the exact time I can take buses for either I-90 or 520, I really hope there is an announcement before 5pm to tell me which bridge to take!

[sarack]

i wonder where he stays when he's here? bill gate's house?

and remember, obama is jennlin's h's homeboy.

Ugh, good think I can work from a coffee shop.

[maddysmum]

Wow...those are some pretty nasty times for commuting purposes!

My husband goes from Bellevue to SLU and back and there is almost no way this won't affect him as he'll have to cross paths almost inevitably.

Hopefully he can get the vanpool on the go early today!

Ugh.

Is Washington really a contested state for the election? Or is he here campaigning on behalf of someone?

No it is an ATM for both candidates. It's not competitive and a lot of rich people. Especially for Democrats there are very few places they can raise money like they can here.

I thought tonight's event was at a private residence. They don't have random people volunteering for that, right?

The guy that h went through does airforce one security, not president..

SHIT since um, I usually take Airport Way up to work in SoDo and back down home to Renton.
Um...WHY does he have to make these trips during rush hour so he screws up all our traffic. Won't make me vote for Romney, but may make me vote for Good Space Guy.
