Sound Transit

Light Rail is currently under construction in the Emerald City. Conversion of the downtown bust tunnel to serve Light Rail and busses is progressing. Construction of the line south towards Tukwila and Sea-Tac Airport is in the advanced stage. This looks like it will be a first class rapid light rail line.
