i understand what you're saying about emergency services. i'm lucky that i am in sledge-dragging distance of a hospital. Seattle certainly is not prepared for a ten-year snowstorm that does not melt off within three days, as our rare snows usually do. you are welcome to be incensed about the care of the roads even though none of this should be a surprise since you've lived here for more than a decade and this happens every single time it snows.
what i'm saying about Connelly and Metro is that riding the bus in bad weather requires thought and care, just like driving a car. if you don't call the info line (no internet required!) or check the website before you leave the house in inclement weather, it's as careless as running out of gas.
i'm glad that you have chosen to take action by contacting the mayor, and i suggest you follow up with city council members as well. i hope to hear about your continuing interest in this issue after the snow has melted.
