Link Light Rail Projects

Construction is well under way on a new 15.6-mile Link light rail line that is a critical piece in this region's transportation future. The line is opening in 2009 in two stages. The 13.9-mile line from Westlake Station to Tukwila International Boulevard Station will open in summer 2009, with a 1.7 mile extension to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport opening by the end of that year.

To support the light rail line, Sound Transit has retrofitted the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel and its existing stations for joint use by both light rail trains and buses. The tunnel reopened for use by buses on Monday, September 24.

The Sound Transit Board is considering rail extension options to present to the voters. Learn more about potential Link expansion here>>>
