Note this excerpt, seldom surpassed in beauty of thought and diction, from his address to Governor Stevens: Why should I mourn at the untimely fate of my people? Tribe follows tribe, and nation follows nation, like the waves of the sea. It is the order of nature and regret is useless. Your time of decay may be distant — but it will surely come, for even the White Man whose God walked and talked with him as friend with friend cannot be exempt from the common destiny. We may be brothers after all. Let the White Man be just and deal kindly with my people, for the dead are not powerless. Dead — I say? There is no death. Only a change of worlds.

Service Network Service Terms Glossary Alternative services: Transportation services tailored to meet specific community needs. Metro plans and provides these services with partner support throughout King County. Often, the served community lacks the infrastructure, density or land rights to support traditional, fixed-route bus service. Metro’s alternative services include: VanPool, VanShare, Community Access Transportation (CAT), Dial-a-Ride Transit (DART), Community Shuttles, Community Hub and Flexible Rideshare. (See definitions of these services below.) Bus Bulb: Bus bulbs are curb extensions that align the bus stop with the parking lane, allowing buses to stop and board passengers without ever leaving the travel lane. Bus bulbs help buses move faster and more reliably by decreasing the amount of time lost when merging in and out of traffic. Carpool: Commuters travelling similar routes can connect on the Metro Rideshare website and share rides in personal vehicles. Community Access Transportation (CAT): A program that complements paratransit (ACCESS) service by filling service gaps in partnership with nonprofit agencies, such as those serving seniors or people with disabilities. Custom Bus: A program that serves King County commuters and students who travel to locations not well served by fixed-route transit.
