Apple Cup incoming. 🍎 As usual, we want to know who you're rooting for.

Is it or this year? Comment a 💜 if you're rooting for UW or comment a ❤️ if you're all in on WSU!

UW hosts at Husky Stadium this year. If you're going to the game or a watch party, bus or light rail is your best bet to avoid traffic and parking fees.

Achievement Unlocked: Taking Transit to PAX WEST ⭐

🎮 Headed to PAX WEST this weekend? Transit is the easiest way to get Downtown to the Seattle Convention Center. Remember, an ORCA card works on almost all forms of transit around the region, so you can hop on a bus and transfer to the light rail using the same card! If you're visiting, just tap a credit or debit card to ride transit in Seattle.

Have fun out there! And let us know in the comments, which Boop are you choosing?
