More than a decade ago voters approved ST3 to build rail to Ballard, West Seattle, Everett, Tacoma, Issaquah, and Kirkland. Since then we've celebrated the 1 Line's extension north to Lynnwood, south to Federal Way, and achieved history with the first floating light-rail line east to Bellevue and Redmond. The central Puget Sound region has taken a leap forward and embraced electrified regional transit, shaping how people move around while reducing our transportation emissions.
 

But now that future is under threat. 
After paying hundreds, even thousands of dollars a year in taxes and fees to build this rail network, the Sound Transit board has signaled their intention to give up. They're considering stopping short of Everett and Tacoma and/or abandoning rail to Ballard entirely, rather than explore ways to bring costs down and find new funding in order to deliver the rail expansion that voters approved.

We can't let that happen. It's more urgent now than ever before that we build all of the ST3 projects. The climate crisis is getting worse. Gas prices are soaring as global instability grows. Polling shows that light rail expansion is extremely popular. The public doesn't want Sound Transit to abandon its promises - we need them to deliver the new rail lines we approved and have been paying for through our taxes for years.

Attend Sound Transit's Board Meetings and voice your support for continued light rail expansion all the way to Everett, to Tacoma, to Ballard, connecting every populated regional center and revolutionizing transportation in the Puget Sound.
