![]() “I think a lot of people that aren’t on the plan will start to say, why are we not on the plan?” Kyle said. Kyle said some Seattleites will likely be feeling a bit overlooked when their busy neighborhoods still lack a train even as other train lines run out to the suburbs. By 2024, Sound Transit’s light rail trains will be running north all the way to Lynnwood, south to Federal Way, and east to Mercer Island, Bellevue, and Redmond. Seattle Subway wants Sound Transit 4 to be put to voters in 2024 because interest in light rail will likely be peaking that year. Their proposal, more of a dream board than transit plan, includes a new circular downtown line around Central Seattle, a new line that runs from South Lake Union due north all the way to Bitter Lake, a new line that would run straight from downtown to the airport, a train from downtown through Madison Valley and across the 520 bridge to Bellevue, and two new east-west routes across north Seattle. The group is urging leaders to start preparing for a new Sound Transit funding initiative to send to the voters in 2024, and they just released a vision of the ballot initiative that includes five entirely new rail lines. Navigating a day like this is currently a nightmare-your choice is to either spend well over three hours transferring between buses or get in your car and idle through the Mercer Mess, backups on the Ballard Bridge, and the hell that is NW 65th Street during rush hour.īut what if instead of deciding between a bus and a car, you could navigate this entire route using only light rail? That’s the vision behind a new dreamy transportation proposal put forth by Seattle Subway, a non-profit transit advocacy group. Imagine this-your Tuesday includes a lunch in the Central District, a meeting in Ballard at 2 p.m., and an evening dinner in Sand Point.
