Eclipse, the Seattle dog known for riding a city bus herself, died on Friday. The news was posted on her owner-run Facebook account.
She was 10 years old and died in her sleep, according to the account. Prior posts shared that she had been diagnosed with cancerous tumors.
Eclipse gained attention in 2015 when she began to take the bus alone. Her owner, Jeff Young, says the two of them would regularly take the bus to visit their local Belltown Dog Park. One day, he was still smoking a cigarette when the bus arrived — so, she boarded without him.
Within weeks, the black lab-bullmastiff mix was a consistent commuter in her signature red harness. Bus drivers recognized her and she knew her stop by looking out the window, her fellow passengers told Seattle's KOMO News in 2015.

Daily Update – October 17, 2022
Good morning! Monday’s come back around again.
One step closer to 2023. And the future. Things are difficult with inflation and stock market down, but I know if I invest and minimize what I consume today, things will be better tomorrow.
Cloudy and 38 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌫️ Calm wind. The skies will clear tomorrow around 9 am. Maybe a cool morning to have the windows open but I like the fresh air.
Saturday I went out Five Rivers in the morning, 🐦 then over to Mr. Wolcott’s place in Colonie, poked around the Crossings with John for a while then went for a hike at Five Mile Waterworks 🦆 and the Pine Bush Trail 🌲 along there for a while until dusk.
Sunday I was going to go to Thacher Park 🍂 but unsure how long the sun would be out, I decided instead just to do another hike out to Five Rivers via Meads Lane. I spent several hours poking around Van Dyke Preserve and Five Rivers. And it just was one of those days that started out gray and foggy, and I couldn’t get moving. I do think I missed out on some pretty leaves, but I just didn’t want to drive or deal with crowds, especially when I could walk to Five Rivers and it would save money. 👣 I guess I can’t complain too much, though after seeing other people’s photos from Thacher Park 📷 I really wish I had driven up there and just walked out to Five Rivers. I do feel like I am missing out on fall. Plus I still have questions about the reliability my of truck.
Maybe next weekend I’ll head up to Thacher Park. 🏕 Or maybe I’ll head out of town to camp. I am not sure, I am considering my options based on the weather, how busy I am with work and how well my truck is running. I am thinking maybe Madison County, but I might wait until November for that trip. Rensselearville State Forest is close but I’ve been up there a lot lately. Maybe there are other options — the thing is I will need cell service all weekend long as it’s another working weekend.
