    "the 122 and 121 takes me one shot, straight down town. its a relaxing commute as its a 50 minute commute. I can catch up on reading or chat with my 2 year old as we ride. if we ever miss the 122 or 121, we also take the 166 which takes is to the Burien Transit Center where we can transfer to an oncoming 122 or 121 or even a 123. transit is very handy in Des Moines!"

    "I've lived in Des Moines for the last 7 month, it's a quiet neighborhood that makes you feel like you're so far away from the city than it's actually is. It's only 20 minutes drive from downtown Seattle. Close to the water, easy access to a lot of stores. Commute is very convenient as well, it's right by I5 and very close to Angle lake light rail station to commute to downtown. Oh and there're trees, lots of lots of trees. "
