Light rail service to Northgate begins in October
Sound Transit will start running light rail trains between the University District and Northgate on Oct. 2, 2021.
The 4.3-mile extension has been under construction for nine years, with most of the route underground.
“Our City is under construction before our eyes, and investments like light rail will be transformational for North Seattle,” Sound Transit Board Member and Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan said in a news release. “We are building a more connected city that has safe, affordable, and reliable options for people walking, rolling, taking transit, and biking, no matter where you live.”
Sound Transit said the extension is coming in under budget, at just under $2 billion, thanks to a $615 million credit agreement under the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA).
