WE ARE WEST SEATTLE RESIDENTS CONCERNED ABOUT SOUND TRANSIT’S PROPOSED LINK LIGHT RAIL EXTENSION
Thanks to everyone who came to the Forum
Many thanks to all of the attendees who came out Saturday morning with their questions and comments for our panel of transit experts. We had great discussions around our five major topics: WSLE Cost escalation, Transit rider experience changes with Link light rail, What voters actually approved in 2016 and Better, more workable transit alternatives for West Seattle that could be implemented tomorrow.
Special thanks to our friend Jeff from Lake Forrest Park and Dick Falkenbury for sharing their respective experiences and advice for interacting with Sound Transit with the group.
Additional thanks to the West Seattle High School students and teacher Jennifer Hall for all of their help!

A great series of comments from the Midweek Roundup @ Seattle Transit Blog discussing why ST3 is so broken.
“The second thing Dow and Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell did was to move Midtown and CID Stations to CID/N and CID/S by changing the preferred alignment after the vote. They did this because the county has an obsolete administration building at 4th & James, and this way ST would help fund its demolition and replacement…” — Mike Orr’s comment
