Seattle Snow 2010 in photos
Our fair city was enveloped by several inches of snow yesterday. It was mayhem! Ryan and I had to work in an event at Bell Harbor Conference Center, by Seattle's Waterfront. The event was very entertaining and refreshing, and we got to hear Tony Hsieh, Zappos CEO, talking about their Delivering Happiness project.
Besides the photos I had to make for work, I got some images of what was going on around. Thankfully, the photos are of nicer moments.
After the event, we were able to safely run some errands (swap a Tres Leches for homemade Chicken Stock, bring donations to Goodwill and shop for groceries we need for Thanksgiving), and when we heard things were getting very complicated around town, we headed home. We spent about 2 hours in traffic, nothing compared to some of our friends' commutes of 5+ hours. Once at home, we tried to keep people updated with information about I-5 (which we can see from our building), alternative roads and retweeting useful tips as much as possible.
Ryan is also telling me that the Link Light Rail (Central Link) worked smoothly during the "Snopocalypse". It's good to know this, as it proved to be the safest way of communting during an event like this.
If you want to read a recap of what happened yesterday, find the #snOMG entries on Twitter. From desperate commuters to more serious information, to businesses offering specials to stranded people, this hashtag compiles a good amount of information about Seattle Snow Day 2010.
