Riders shed their pants on the link light rail today from downtown Seattle to Seatac as part of a comic tradition.

SLIDESHOW: No Pants Riders take the light rail to SeaTac

Comedy tradition comes to new line

At noon today travelers riding the light rail train from Westlake Center in Downtown Seattle to the SeaTac station dropped their pants in the first annual no-pants ride.
The no-pants ride was organized by Emerald City Improv, a comedy improv group in Seattle, borrowing an idea started in the New York City subways. Participants met at the Westlake Sound Transit Station at noon, riding all the way to Seatac Station and back to Westlake.
The tradition started in New York, put on by Improveverywhere.
In Cities around the world today people rode the subway, or in Seattle’s case the Light Rail in their underwear.
Startled riders who were unaware of the event either laughed at the spectacle or sat stoically and kept their eyes pointed straight ahead.
