“Railroads — real and imaginary, blessed and cursed — would accompany Seattle through all the stage of its rise to maturity, and make a grand spectacle along the way,” said Kurt Armbruster, a Seattle expert on Puget Sound railroads (1). Its success would not have been possible without the evolution of railroad stations. Therefore, the railroad stations in Seattle have important significance for the city and even the whole country.

It is sad that there are so many taboos they must face every day. There was one quote from a speed dater named Addie (2014) that really struck me “I have to be out there. I haven’t changed. Just because I’m older, I have not changed. The essence of who I am is always there.” Even though this is a simple quote it really is the truth. No matter how…

My midnight black eight-year-old eyes stare intently at the tall man standing in front of me. He wears a purple and yellow striped shirt, a very unflattering color combination, with thick sand-tan cargo shorts, and piled on top of his head is a massive brown afro. Who is that?
