NEW STORY// April Urbanist Socials, Light Rail Town Halls, and Ballard March

True, though the post-2016 MVET hike is the main increase in costs that residents notice.

Would people still pay $100s, even $1000s per year to register their cars if their rail project got axed? I-776 wasn't tested in federal court.

I don't think ST leaders have thought this through.

In a sense, Ballardites have been paying 27 years not just 10 years. To pile on, you might also add 3 years for the unbuilt monorail.

Ballard residents organize march in support of light rail plans Ballard residents are organizing a march this weekend to advocate for the inclusion of a Ballard station in Sound Transit’s light rail plans.

We shouldn’t have to march to protect a rail line we voted for by an enormous margin and have been paying for over the last 10 years. But we do. See you in Ballard on Sunday!

Today at noon!

Back in September, SDOT invited @seattletru.bsky.social to table at their Graham Street Station party. It was a lot of fun and a lot of people came out to see where the new station will be.

The *only* thing people didn't like? Waiting until 2031.

We can do this and we should do this!

When I moved to Seattle in 2006, there was no regional rail connection to anywhere. In two days, we open a connection that unites TWO LINES together into a full network.

Progress is possible.

A construction worker in high-visibility clothing is adjusting equipment on a concrete surface. The scene is outdoors, featuring a series of rectangular metal components aligned in rows. A concrete barrier runs alongside, and there are trees and houses visible in the distant background under a cloudy sky.

Aerial view of a light rail train traveling across the I-90 floating bridge. Multiple cars are visible on an adjacent road. The background shows a city skyline with buildings surrounded by trees. The sky is overcast.

How it started: early construction taking shape. How it’s going: a fully connected 2 Line.

Years of planning, precision, and teamwork are leading to one historic connection, opening March 28. See more photos: www.soundtransit.org/blog/platform/then-now-c...
