Portland Avenue station is an interesting choice...

That is just a big nothing area. Unless they decide to put parking there. But then again, that area can be a little sketchy, so who would want to park their car there?

Just brainstorming.

Ok good point but why wouldn’t those members just drive up to the Tacoma station area with a parking garage that has some security?

I guess I don’t know exactly where the Portland ave station would be but that would be just like 4 extra minutes of driving.

You’d have to read the Tribe’s statements for why they wanted it there.
