Another Martin Luther King Day event.

Images from yesterday's Martin Luther King Day event in Sehome High School. It was well attended.

Some emphasis on person to person interaction for solutions at the grassroots. Discussions around tables were useful and lively, though I found that discussions were still somewhat impeded by presentations to the whole group. Often the best grassroots discussions are truncated by the overall program at meetings like this.

At my table I was able to explain my way of using transit to get to Seattle for around $5 using the County Connector Buses. Another person at the table was quite interested. I enjoy interactive chances to express my somewhat unique thinking and experiences. I try and cater my stories to people's questions. That's the virtue of interactive discussion over presentation.

One of my reasons for going was also to experience the new Sehome High School building. The boiler room was visible through display windows from the cafeteria. Good idea as it's educational. Back when I was in school, those things were more hidden as if education only comes from books.

I also noticed quite a few bike racks and other alternative transportation facilities at the school. Practical solutions for today's world.
