What’s happening now

Sound Transit is currently studying multiple light rail routes and station options (called alternatives) for the West Seattle and Ballard Link Extensions project.

This project is currently in Environmental Review, where we are studying the potential impacts of the alternatives on the natural, built and social environment. We will publish the results in a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in early 2021. This will be an important opportunity to share your feedback and comment on the project. The Sound Transit Board will take public feedback and the results of the Draft EIS into consideration when they confirm or modify the preferred alternatives. You can keep up with the project by subscribing to monthly email updates for the latest information.
