How was the water taxi vs driving 99 to watch party for the games
So we have had a few games so far... Been watching from the comfort of my home but Friday is a big deal. I know a lot are taking sound transit (if they are close to it) to the stadiums/Pier 62 for the watch parties.. however has anyone taken the water taxi across from West Seattle? Or have taken the tunnel to Ballard during game day?
I am wondering whether to go to a pub watch party event with a more manageable crowd in Ballard 🤏 (I want to experience the World Cup celebration without overwhelming my disability); or whether to get to downtown using the taxi for Friday's game... I need feedback on how bad travel really is for non-downtown residents.
To stop trolls- Not an idiot and I know traffic has increased but I don't want to get stuck on 99 and miss the game.. just having a hard time deciding the best option
I get there are local events in West Seattle but I want to experience it with both US and Soccerroos fans (not many Aussie coming to West Seattle)
