Sound Transit is transforming how the Central Puget Sound region moves by planning, building and operating regional transit systems that give millions of riders an alternative to sitting in traffic. As the agency prepares for nearly a million new Central Puget Sound residents by 2040, transit services are expanding to meet today’s growing needs. 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. As Sound Transit grows, we seek innovative, technical and creative professionals who are ready to come on board and make a difference. Career opportunities include information technology, finance, construction management and engineering positions. Apply today at www.soundtransit.org/jobs.

Exciting news for Eastrail enthusiasts! Earlier this week we joined King County Executive Dow Constantine, Bellevue Mayor Lynne Robinson, and other community leaders to celebrate the opening of King County Parks' new trail bridge connecting Eastrail to Sound Transit's Wilburton Station! This 500-foot-long, 16-foot-wide bridge crosses NE 8th Street, one of Bellevue’s busiest streets, ensuring a safe and accessible path for pedestrians and cyclists. It’s not just a bridge – it’s a gateway to history, featuring public artwork that recognizes and honors the legacy of the Japanese American farming community of Bellevue.

Today, we raised our Progress Pride Flag outside of Union Station in celebration and support of our LGBTQIA+ community. Pride is not a fleeting moment but a continuous movement and celebration of intersectionality, freedom, and protections for gender identity that constitute Pride now and forever. #PrideHerePrideNow
