The City of Tukwila has announced the inclusion of the Boeing Access Road Link light rail station in Sound Transit’s Draft System Plan, a vital component of the upcoming ST3 ballot measure. This project aims to enhance public transportation options in the region, making it easier for residents and workers to navigate Tukwila and surrounding areas. City officials are encouraging community members to voice their support directly to Sound Transit, as the final list of projects will be determined later this summer. The anticipated station is expected to provide significant benefits, including improved access to jobs and services, which is essential as Tukwila experiences growth. Additionally, the Link light rail will contribute to reducing traffic congestion, a pressing issue in the region.

The public review process will be crucial in shaping the final proposals, and local advocacy will play a significant role. As Tukwila continues to evolve, infrastructure improvements like this station are essential for fostering economic development and enhancing quality of life. Engaged community support can make a substantial difference in the realization of this important transport initiative.
