| We can't believe we're nearing the end of 2021 already. But with transit expansions, we're just getting started. Read on for the latest news on light rail construction - from train testing in Bellevue to a big milestone in Lynnwood. And have a happy holiday season!
Marking another milestone for the East Link light rail extension, crews have begun testing for light rail vehicles along the route that will connect Seattle with stations on Mercer Island, Bellevue and the Overlake/Bel Red areas. East Link opens as the 2 Line in 2023!
This extension includes four new stations serving Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, Shoreline and Seattle. By 2024, Lynnwood Link and other extensions currently under construction will more than double the length of the region’s light rail system.
In November, we celebrated opening the parking garage at the future South Bellevue Station - a great development for current bus riders and future light rail passengers. Construction continues on the adjacent light rail station and guideway.
On Veterans Day and every day, we thank all who have served our country - but we want to especially thank those now serving our region as employees of Sound Transit. Visit our blog to learn more about Presley Morrissey and more of our veterans.
Sound Transit is investigating a significant Link light rail operational incident that occurred after the Apple Cup game. We apologize for the considerable inconvenience to our passengers.
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!
