chas Redmond (credmond at mac.com) has sent the following story to
you from seattlepi.com.

Comments from chas Redmond:
Jacob, this article in the seattlepi.com talks about the ORCA
card and says there is a 5 month period where it's free but then
it will cost $5, mostly to prevent folks from losing it.  It's
got more detail than we had yesterday and might be worth
distributing to the rest of the group.  Chas

It's a transit pass and pay-per-ride card that can be used
throughout King, Kitsap, Snohomish and Pierce counties. It's
three years later and $5 million more expensive than expected.
But ORCA is here, starting Monday.
