Traffic in Seattle is a nightmare. You know this. You sit in it. You may even be sitting in it right now, reading this as your bus crawls toward Ballard or West Seattle. You sit in traffic because you have no choice.
Building more light rail is the answer.
Sound Transit 3, listed on your ballot as Sound Transit Proposition No. 1, will expand light rail to Ballard and West Seattle, plus Everett, Issaquah, Federal Way, Tacoma, and downtown Redmond. Assuming you and everyone you know votes “Approved,” the ST3 package will also bring other transit improvements: New bus rapid transit will begin running between Burien, south of Seattle, and Lynnwood, in the north. Other rapid buses will begin running between Shoreline in the north and Bothell in the east. Plus, Sounder commuter train service will expand to carry more people between Seattle and Lakewood, south of Tacoma, and get two new stations.
