WSDOT… how do I love thee, let me count the ways…
1. I love your pass reports/​pass cameras. I live on the west side of the mountains, the parents live on the east side and when we want to connect we always check you out to see the best way to go.
2. I love your Seattle traffic cameras — rarely do I use them for purposes of planning a commute, since I drive on surface streets, but they are entertaining.
3. I love your weather forecasts. They put stupid
to shame!
4. I love your data! Highway statistics… useless (to me) sure, but interesting all the same. Makes for good conversation at the White Horse when I’ve had a little much.
5. I love the weird earthquake map on your website! It’s scary to see how many earthquakes we have EVERY DAY that we just can’t feel but again, good conversation.
6. I love your radio station. Like I said, I always check the pass reports before I go, but I like the updates I can get by tuning into whatever AM station, scratchy and robotic as they may be.
7. I love your blog! We were first acquainted back during the snowpocalypse when you couldn’t update your website fast enough and sent your photographers around to check stuff out. Very cool, even if it does freeze ALL THE TIME.
Whoops. I can’t continue, as the WSDOT blog in the next tab is freezing and I might have to reboot. No, actually, it’s happening. Well, you can’t win them all. But really WSDOT, you do have a special place in my heart and I’m proud to go public with my love for you.
