Your guide to riding light rail
Sound Transit has opened its 14-mile, $2.3 billion starter line from Westlake Center to Tukwila. This winter, the line will stretch two more miles to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, and work just began on a tunnel to Capitol Hill and Husky Stadium to open in 2016. Voters have also approved three lines into the suburbs.
