PublicRoutes.com Makes a Home in
the Pacific Northwest – Brings Public Transportation Directions to Seattle
Company Expands Successful Online
Directions Resource with Enhanced Features for Finding Detailed Directions, Maps,
Travel Information and Local Guides
New York, NY – March 12, 2007 – PublicRoutes.com, a directions–based
Web resource, today announced the launch of a complete navigational resource for
public transportation throughout the entire Seattle area including: King, Pierce
and Kitsap counties.
Seattle is the largest city in the Pacific Northwest and with almost
600,000 people the city has proven to have a reputable public transportation system
over the years. The city is unique in that it is serviced by three distinct
providers: King County Metro (specializing in trolleys, buses and vans), Sound Transit
(specializing in light rails) and Washington State Ferries (which manages the largest
network of ferries in the United States).
The goal of PublicRoutes.com is to provide a way for the residents
and tourists of Seattle to benefit from all of these resources in order to enjoy
the city and travel more efficiently through the area.
PublicRoutes.com is a great source for people who need to get around to meetings,
arrange directions for friends, find cool attractions around town, or simply get
to and from their favorite coffee shop safely. The company has closely studied the entirety of all three providers
in Seattle and developed specific maps and directions for the entire area using
public transportation.
With recently added features and state–of–the–art,
patent pending technology, PublicRoutes.com operates with unsurpassed speed and
accuracy. The website provides users with point–to–point directions for all modes
of transportation � from rail to ferry to driving and walking directions.
"From grunge rockers to coffee brewing
pioneers, Seattle is a renaissance city that thrives upon its cultural diversity
and operates as a central hub in the Pacific Northwest," said Marc Sellouk, CEO
of PublicRoutes.com. "By using PublicRoutes.com a person will save the time and
hassle associated with an unfamiliar commute and will be able to find exactly where
they're going without getting caught in the rain."

a free, easy–to–use website, PublicRoutes.com also allows users to obtain information
and door–to–door directions to the city's top points of interest including restaurants,
tourist attractions like the Space Needle, sporting arenas and nightlife venues.
