Op-Ed: Give Ballard a Sounder Stop While It Waits for Light Rail

An opinion piece argues Sound Transit should build a Sounder N Line station in Ballard, Seattle to provide transit access while residents wait for delayed light rail. The author notes Sounder trains already pass through Ballard near the locks but don’t stop, and suggests a low-cost infill station could serve approximately 1,000 additional daily riders and reduce travel times to downtown Seattle from 45 minutes to 15 minutes.
