Light Rail Extended to the Dome
The TNT is reporting that Sound Transit is no longer planning to end the Light Rail line at the Poodle Dog in Fife. From the story:
“It’s big news for Tacoma,” said Pierce County Executive John Ladenburg, chairman of the Sound Transit board. “It’s a done deal. We’re going to the Tacoma Dome.”
It’ll be a while, but I’m looking forward to it.

Derek,
Thanks for throwing this up on the front page. Also, one category that already popped into my head is the wonderful bridges we have here.
Any other help is greatly appreciated.

A R: Your examples are fascinating and interesting to be sure. However, based upon what you’ve shared, I suspect few would have the right answers to offer. Not a great trivia night when all the sheets are returned blank. Maybe you have thoughts on something a bit less obscure?
My 90 IQ points and I are not especially gifted in the area of trivia. That said, when I see the question:
What was the name of the bear in the lounge of the Tacoma Hotel?
My answer is: There was a Tacoma Hotel? Check please…

haha, okay, okay. I’m sure we can do better. That is pretty trivial.

I suggest Washington bodies of water, including dam trivia (or damn trivia depending upon entrants’ level of success).

I know of three quiz nights in the Tacoma area…E9, Doyles, and the Ale House in University Place. All three hold quizzes on Wednesday. What’s the deal? Is there some sort of logical progression from Taco Tuesdays to Quiz Wednesdays?
Oh, for a Monday night quiz!

I couldn’t agree more with Erik (8). Why on earth would all the pubs compete for quiz night patrons. It seems logical that many quiz buffs would make multiple locations if they were on different nights. Come on bar owners, someone budge please!!

What about Washington’s many brewery’s & winery’s?

Schools? Politics? What used to be in this building? Rainer’s history? Heidelberg history? What things would you expect to shop for at any of our small and obscure businesses? This history of what’s on tap at E9? Bing Crosby lyrics? Famous murders and murderers? Haunted buildings and the ghosts who occupy them? (Halloween is coming)…
Suppose I could go on.

You can fiddle around lot with Tacoma schools – i.e. Which Tacoma school was named after the sister of a midwest oil tycoon: Baker, Gault, Annie Wright, Bellarmine… or native name places is good topic – i.e. Which word when translated means “the generous people:” Salishan, Nisqually, Puyallup, Sammamish? Etc etc, you kinda get the point….
