For a Good Time, Call Seattle's SLUT

To make the most out of your trip to Seattle, you have to ride the SLUT. Yeah, you know what we're talking about: the South Lake Union Trolley.

OK, so officially it's the South Lake Union Streetcar. But where's the fun in that? The company that developed the trolleys--Paul Allen's Vulcan--says the racy name was never official, but that isn't stopping the fun. We definitely have a love-hate relationship with public transportation, so we're up for anything that makes it better. And locals like Jerry Johnson are excited too, after enduring construction for months:

We're welcoming the SLUT into the neighborhood...We can't wait.

Jerry works at a neighborhood coffee shop where they've already sold hundreds of "Ride the S.L.U.T." t-shirts, so there are plenty of fans out there. The trolleys themselves will start running in December.
