| It's Aug. 2, which means we are two months away from opening three new stations in the U District, Roosevelt and Northgate neighborhoods! Here at The Platform in July, we had fun reminiscing with the construction folks about how we got here. We're also bringing you updates on changes coming to Tacoma Link and the ORCA system. Read on for more!
We're getting nostalgic as we get ready to welcome three new light rail stations on Oct. 2. It took a lot of work – 5.2 million labor hours, in fact – to build the expanded 1 line. Head to our blog and check out a few of our favorite photos of the construction over the years!
Construction Manager Lori Frederick says that though construction always has challenges, it's amazing when it all comes together. The Northgate Link Extension "is a collaborative masterpiece."
Amid a historic heat wave last month, construction crews made amazing progress on the Hilltop Tacoma Link Extension. Check out our post for more cool photos of the work (including some sweet drone shots!).
Starting in 2022, paying for transit rides in the Puget Sound region will be faster and easier with the new myORCA website and mobile app. Learn more about the history of the ORCA card and what changes are being made.
Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram for more great pictures from all the Sound Transit places you love. We’re @SoundTransit and hope to see you there!
Are you excited for your new Link light rail stations to open? Well, the wait is over, and we are ready to welcome you aboard. That’s why we’re giving you an exclusive look at these facilities before they open to the public. Head to our new website to learn more!
