| Anyone else feel like February went by faster than usual? We had a lot to celebrate, from Black History Month to light rail construction progress all around the region. Read on for the latest news and stay tuned for even more milestones in March!
Construction is winding down along the 14-mile East Link alignment, and systems testing is in full swing. For several nights in February, light rail vehicles traveled at operating speeds to ensure the new line will be ready for passengers when it opens next year.
Check out our latest “Fresh pics” blog post to learn more about the light rail bridge that crosses I-5 as part of the Lynnwood Link extension into Snohomish County that will help thousands of riders fly past freeway traffic.
Our annual Progress Report goes to every household in the Sound Transit district and started arriving in mailboxes in February. Check it out to see the progress we made in 2021 and explore the new opportunities transit will connect you to in the years ahead.
"The more we learn about the past, the greater our responsibility to honor, remember and work for equality." Learn more about how Sound Transit and our employees commemorated Black History Month.
Starting this month, Sound Transit staff will be installing new ORCA ticket vending machines (TVMs) at SeaTac, Capitol Hill, University District, Roosevelt and Northgate stations. Learn more about the project and how you can let us know what you think.
Hopefully the Mariners return in March, but we’re already excited about the Sounders and more teams getting underway. Check out our tips for taking transit on game day!
