九月二十一日，溜達(dá)完朋友家的后花園，朋友說，上次你們不是沒有到國王街嗎，今天咱們一起看看。從他家到國王街坐公交要一個半鐘頭左右，干脆朋友開車，拉著我們轉(zhuǎn)一圈。到車站，他開車去轉(zhuǎn)圈找停車位，偶們下車到處亂跑，說好了時間到下車的位置集合。

        時間有限，只是圍著國王街的火車站轉(zhuǎn)，還鉆到里面去看了一眼。國王街火車站邊上還有個聯(lián)合火車站。

        火車站邊上的體育場叫塞弗科（Safeco Field），這里是美國職業(yè)棒球大聯(lián)盟（MLB）主賽場，是1999年啟用的。偶們到這的時候正好趕上棒球大賽，球迷從不同方向涌向體育場。這個大體育場的天棚可以移動，或開或關(guān)都行?？茨菢幼?，里面裝個萬把人的沒有問題。不知道這場棒球賽幾點開始，站在過街天橋上看，體育場看臺人還不算多。觀眾進(jìn)場前，不同球隊的粉絲聚在一起，穿在喜歡的球隊的隊服，吃東西，喝飲料。體育場周邊的酒吧街頭小吃都擠滿了看球的粉絲。這種場外的歡樂，好像沒有在北京看到過。當(dāng)然，咱也多少年沒有去看球啦。所以，又是新鮮，又是一通亂拍。

        還好，回到剛才下車的地方，朋友還沒有到。沒幾分鐘，朋友到，他真的沒有在車站附近找到停車位，都讓球迷們給占滿了。

        這個帶鐘樓的紅色磚墻的火車站也叫金街火車站，這個仿造威尼斯圣馬可廣場的鐘樓車站是1904年至1906年建的，和美國的太平洋鐵路連在一起。自然，修這條鐵路和建這座火車站都有華人的血淚和苦勞。所以，鐵路修完，很多華人勞工就在這附近生存下來，所以，也就就有了西雅圖靠車站的這個唐人街啦。現(xiàn)在看到的國王街火車站是2008年，西雅圖政府重新復(fù)修的，花了1500多萬美元。里里外外和原來差不多，車站外的小廣場和一些老建筑也恢復(fù)了，都是古色古香。說是曾經(jīng)24年沒有聽見報時的十二層鐘樓的老鐘也給修好了。說是不少在這里住著的老華人聽到久別的鐘聲都落了淚。
