  • Rider Chronicles http://rider-chronicles.blogspot.com/

    Stories of People As Seen By On Lookers... Jamie and Liz both work in Lower Queen Anne after an office move. The move meant commuting by bus for the sake of money and the environmental thing to do. Upon joining the masses that ride the Seattle Metro Busses, the amazing duo found that there are many interesting people and things that encompass the daily commute. After sharing several fun stories with each other, we decided to co-author a blog and share where these thoughts bring us. Thus, the birth of the Rider Chronicles and a new journey to take the everyday and make something different of it.
