Link light rail

The location of future light rail stations in South Lake Union has been the subject of intense debate among Sound Transit boardmembers. The agency's staff are officially recommending that the alignment not veer off course despite pressure from Vulcan, Amazon, and the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.

The Seattle Chamber of Commerce spend most of their time saying they shouldn’t have to pay higher taxes because the government is inefficient and wasteful. Meanwhile, they are spending a bunch of resources on trying to make the government inefficient and wasteful. South Lake Union light rail decisions are the latest example.

East Main, South Bellevue, and Wilburton Station are the clear laggards along the 2 Line where development activity has been sparse. A pending zoning update offers a lot of hope for Wilburton, a little for East Main, and none for South Bellevue.

Sound Transit will be conducting maintenance and expansion tie-in work May 12 through June 25 that will impact 1 Line light rail service. The biggest disruptions will take place June 1 and 2, June 21 through June 23, and Tuesdays after 11pm.

Track restoration work on the remainder of the 2 Line across I-90 is 80% complete, but any additional delays are almost certain to push a grand opening into 2026.
