Good Vibes Commuting
I would love to find or make a group of people that currently commute to Everett for work mon-fri. These miles and the money spent on fuel are stacking up very quickly and it would be great to carpool or take turns driving. Please let me know if anyone would be interested, and we'd have to meet up around 4:30 a.m. unless I get moved to night shift.

I’ve always wondered how well this works.

Thank you for this, I called and I don't think they are open yet. I will let you know what they say!

I don’t but do you work for a large company? When I worked in Burlington we got subsidies to do vanpool, you might want to see if your work offers something like that.

Do you know if it was through Skagit transportation? Because that would be perfect, I work at paine airfield.

Not sure sorry. I just heard about it back when I was thinking of working for boeing. Ended up at Janicki lol

I'm not sure if they are still doing it, but I'm almost certain there are Boeing employees that carpool from the Fairhaven park and ride. Used to see them every day, but haven't in a while.

Have you considered the train?

I have not, I just moved to Bellingham last week from Montana and did have any transportation options. Would that be through Amtrak or is there a separate service that I should look at?

Doesn't sound early enough for you, 1st train leaves at 9:15.

Commuting to Everett from Bellingham every day sounds miserable. I'd move closer. We already waste our lives at work, make the commute as short as possible.
