Interesting thought! This would be another proposal: branch off from SODO and build new, much needed stations in Georgetown and South Park and end at the airport. One downside of branching at Judkins would be cutting off the stadiums from their closest light rail while fixing the at-grade section

A depiction of part of Seattle Subway's vision map. The relevant part to the post is the pink line which runs north-south and separates from the current 1 line at SODO, goes through Georgetown and South Park, and rejoins at Tukwila International Blvd before ending at SeaTac Airport. This would free up Sound Transit to elevate the existing Ranier Valley segment without severing the spine.

Just some absolute word salad here from CEO Constantine. He has been leading this process in various roles as King County Exec, ST Board Chair, and now CEO since 2009!

"It is holistic. It’s creative. It’s iterative,” Constantine said. “We’re talking about everything across the agency — operations and maintenance and finance — considering everything we are doing in order that we might be able to better deliver and better serve from an internal perspective, process requires ST leadership and staff to bring all of our costs together and really collaborate across various interlocking spheres to inform each other and deliver the best data and information to the board to inform board decisions. Instead of throwing on the brakes, instead of paralysis or simply delaying projects and diminishing scope, as we did previously, we are going to look at this program holistically and bring the board information on all of our work from across all of our enterprise.”

One option is to build the pink line south as part of an ST4 package, and then elevate the 1 Line through Rainier Valley

If you want to save light rail to Ballard, now's the time to speak up! Tell Sound Transit that they need to build the system we voted for. Great to see people organizing to make sure our voices are heard. saveballardrail.org

This is a minor thing considering this week’s Sounder issues, but: 1). Check out these sweet bollards! 2). Note how far away the train is from the platform entrance. 3). The gates stay down long after the train stops. @sound-transit.bsky.social - Any insight on why 2/3 are the way they are?

Self re-post series (#2) In 2022, we pushed for SB 5528, which gives cities the ability to supercharge Link expansion. It’s now state law.
