I went to the Mariners game yesterday with some friends and took my first ride on Sound Transit's awesome Sounder.
Should I repeat: it's awesome. I've ridden the Express bus to many a Mariners game, but this was much cooler. For a buck more than the bus, we had a much better ride and saw a much more interesting side of the route between Tacoma and Seattle.
The trains right now only run for 1:05 games on Sundays but it's still pretty cool.
Mariners won too and wound up in first place, so all in all--a good Saturday!

I love the Sounder. They also run commuter trains on the weekdays, just outbound in the morning and inbound at night. We've taken the inbound (to Tacoma) train several times, as a rush hour alternative to the bus. The kids get a kick out of it.
Dude! That was your first time?!?!?! Yes, it's awesome. For the couple months I had to commute to downtown Tacoma, I always took the Sounder home. You could count on how long it would take to get home on a Friday, and the views are so much more beautiful than those from I-5. And way more comfortable than the bus. I always found it so weird how silent and sleepy folks were on the bus, and how so darn chatty they are on the Sounder! :)
Frinklin commuted daily on the Sounder, and we've taken it a couple of times for Seahawk and Mariner games - it is awesome! It completely beats driving.
