You can have your say on the future of public transportation in Seattle and the state’s transit system at upcoming workshops and via the ever popular online survey. Details on both, below.
The City of Seattle is planning a series of open houses across the city to present details of the new Transit Master Plan:

Meanwhile, you can tell leaders in Olympia about your priorities for WA state via this online survey currently underway:
The Washington State Transportation Commission has created an online survey so people can tell local and state leaders what our transportation priorities should be. This is an opportunity for you to help shape the future of your local, regional, and statewide transportation system.
The survey asks what type of transportation is most important to you, how it should be paid for, how tolling revenue should be used, and similar questions.
Find the survey at www.voiceofwashingtonsurvey.org. It takes about 20-30 minutes to complete.
The Transportation Commission provides a public forum for transportation policy development. It reviews and assesses the entire transportation system and issues the state’s 20-year Transportation Plan. It also adopts tolls for state highways and bridges and fares for Washington State Ferries.
The survey is part of the Commission’s statewide outreach program; the Commission asked King County to help inform people about it. Findings will be reported to the Governor, Legislature, policy makers, and advisory groups such as the Connecting Washington Task Force.
All of these “High Capacity Transit” lines are to be completed by when, 2116?
You must be new here. 2116 is WAY too early to hope for …
Seattle’s been on the map since 1860’s, was founded and planned by a whole boatload of civic leaders as the being the “new york of the west”, and we’ve so far UNbuilt a citywide streetcar network, built a mile long monorail and 1 half-built light rail line in that time. Seriously, 2116?? Not going to happen.
[Dear Future: please glorify my prophetic powers and send your gratitude and euros to my greatgrandkids in appreciation when in turns out I’m sooo right on this one. thanks!]
Smitty, we need to put your comment in a time capsule so the future can revel in your brilliant powers of prophecy.
So the 1 line not marked generically as “future high capacity transit” is Link Light Rail, which is currently being sued off of both 520 and I-90.
Good luck with that.
