Bus Stops I Have Known -- Bus Stop #2

1st and Cedar, Seattle.

Visited quite often during commute

Overall Bus Stop Ratings (out of 5 stars)

*** User Friendliness. Missing bus schedule. HOWEVER, look! There's a brand new bus shelter that's just a couple of days old, plus the bus shelter has a bench. HOWEVER, look again! There is a man smoking right next to the No Smoking sign! Typical. Still, this bus stop does get three stars.

** Interest of Surroundings. Belltown is usually interesting. This stop is on the outskirts of the hip zone, but occasionally pretty people on their way out to the cool clubs and bars will walk by. Many times, there are seedy folks hanging out under the tree just a short distance away. Valets from a nearby fancy restaurant or hotel use the paid parking lot behind this bus stop, so they can be seen running back and forth.

* Architecture of Surroundings. A parking lot for sale, possible public art in the form of cement slabs under the previously mentioned tree, mostly ugly apartment buildings across the street.

* or *** Personal Safety. Not bad during daylight hours, three stars. Goes down to one star after dark, especially if it's rainy or stormy and not many people are walking around. There is a street light, which helps it seem safer.

** Creepy Factor. Not too bad.
