Seattle Sound Transit Leaders Rally to Avoid Light Rail Delays

Sound Transit leaders held a forum Tuesday at Seattle City Hall with more than 200 transit advocates to oppose indefinitely deferring light rail projects. Seattle board members including Mayor Katie Wilson and King County Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda argued for keeping all ST3 projects moving forward and finding additional revenue, pushing back against Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers’ proposal to defer Ballard light rail and other stations. The Sound Transit board is expected to vote this month on a revised financial plan.
