Sound Transit Snapshot
Connecting more people to more places to make life better and create equitable opportunities for all.
Sound Transit is transforming how the Greater Seattle area moves by planning, building and operating regional transit systems that give millions of riders an alternative to sitting in traffic.
Thanks to voter approval of the largest mass transit expansion in the region’s history, Sound Transit’s light rail system will grow to four times the size it is today. When complete, the 116-mile light rail system will stretch from Everett to Tacoma and connect major job and population centers in Seattle including South Lake Union, Seattle Center, Ballard and West Seattle. It will also extend east to Bellevue, Redmond, Issaquah and Mercer Island.
