by | Mar 30, 2022 | News, Resources

Climate-friendly commutes are for everyone! No matter who you are, where you live, what company you work for, and what your work schedule is, there are commute solutions to fit your needs. Commute Seattle asked these Seattle commuters to tell their commute story, share tips and tricks, and encourage others to try new commute options.

Scott Nakamoto works as a Coffee Curator for Bean Box, a coffee subscription service located in Seattle. Scott commutes by bicycle from his home in the Central District to his worksite in SODO. His favorite parts of his commute include trying new routes and protected bike trails, zipping down hills, and having the ability to take the Link Light Rail back up the hill some afternoons.
