Bikestation Seattle
Signed up for Bikestation Seattle access. Near work, and offers secure 24x7 parking. At work, the building lease prohibits bikes in the building, and the parking garage wants bikes stored in an open cage, locked behind a default password, and no attendant after hours. Small wonder bikes get stolen! While one may naturally suspect this cycling discouragement to stem from the usual Hindu American Zionist Latter-day Orthodox Corporate Zensufi Pentecostal Masonite conspiracy, more likely (but far less entertaining) causes include building owners who dislike tire scrapes and mud, and a parking garage who threw together unprofitable bike cages as an afterthought.
Slightly longer walk to work, though this avoids the annoying road by the Stadium. Escaping Northwesterly tricky. First avenue best option, as I can sneak into Pike Place Market for sorbet or other snacks on the way home. However, Pike Place Market comes to a screeching halt somewhere between 17:15 and 18:30, ruling out worked-a-bit-late days.
