Owen asked me the name of every station and what there was to do there (this was after I told him there was lots of shopping at the Westlake Station.) But, they really didn’t seem to mind and got a kick out of being on a train and looking at each of the stations. What we didn’t realize is that most of the route between Columbia City and the University of Washington is in a tunnel, so there was less for our toddlers to look at. After a few stops, the train emptied a bit and we moved to the back of the Link Light Rail train so we could have the toddlers in window seats while the adults took aisle seats. Our seats were in a long row on the sides of the train, so Owen stood in my lap facing me and looked out the window. ![]() The train was pretty full when we got on, but we were able to secure seats and have the toddlers sit on our laps. I was worried he was upset by how loud the train was, but he just looked at me and exclaimed “I’m so excited!” He eagerly climbed aboard the train and was ready to start our journey. ![]() Owen was actually grinning ear to ear when the train approached and started making all kinds of sounds. Then, the boys patiently waited for the train to arrive, which was just minutes later. That was the furthest stop and we weren’t sure if we’d want to get off at some point. We all bought Link Light Rail Day Passes for the University of Washington. We easily found street parking in Columbia City and headed to the station to buy our ticket.
