Sound Transit is set to extend the light rail to Tacoma's Hilltop neighborhood in 2022, Bellevue and Redmond in 2023, and Lynnwood and Federal Way in 2024. SEATTLE Saturday marked a major milestone for transit in Seattle as the Northgate Link Extension of the light rail system opened. The Northgate expansion is only the beginning of a series of light rail extension projects. Ridership is coming back traffic is coming back,' Rogoff said. I mean, I think we're still coming out of the pandemic trough. Whether the additional stops will reduce traffic remains to be seen. The extension offers transportation options for commuters and is conveniently located near North Seattle College and the Kraken's new community iceplex and practice center. Work on the Northgate extension was voter-approved in 2008 with construction starting in 2012 after six years of planning, according to Sound Transit. 'Both for operator training and just, if you will, breaking in the equipment just like you're breaking in a new car,' said Sound Transit CEO Peter Rogoff. Among those projects is the Northgate station, where trains are already doing practice runs. More than 23,000 workers have labored over 14.5 million hours for Sound Transit's 18 active construction projects. I mean there's a lot of men out there and there's a lot of manly things going on but you can kind of adapt to it,' Lee said. 'I think most women think like it's a man's job.
