reel icon It’s See Tracks? Think Train! Week – a good time to brush up on train and trackway safety:    👀 Look both ways before crossing. Trains don’t stop on a dime.    🚸 Take crosswalks, not shortcuts. Getting there > getting there fast. 📱 Headphones off, screens down. It can wait.    🚆 Stay behind the yellow line when trains are in motion.    🚲 Bike smart, roll safe. Cross tracks at 90 degrees, get there 100%.    Whether you’re walking, biking, rolling, or driving, look out for each other to keep our communities safe and strong. Crossing safety starts with you. Click the link in our bio for more.   And big thank you to our 2025 See Tracks? Think Train! Week, @kp_washington #SoundTransit #RailSafety #SeeTracksThinkTrain Video description: Emoji eyes on an orange background transitions to text reading “Be a looker. Look before crossing. Look out for each other.”

reel icon What does it take to get the 2 Line ready to ride? 🚆⚡ Careful, detailed testing — sometimes overnight. This week, we reached a historic milestone: the first Link light rail train ever to cross the I-90 floating bridge under its own power. That makes this the first floating bridge in the world to carry powered trains. It’s all part of months of testing to ensure a safe, reliable ride when the 2 Line opens in 2026. Why the late-night hours? Our latest Crosslake Update explains. 🎥: @henryonboard Video description: Sound Transit employee Henry reports from the floating bridge on why some train testing happens overnight - to observe and document electrical arcing.

reel icon The Puget Sound is packed with seasonal farmers markets – nearly every neighborhood has one! 🌻🥖 Some, like the iconic @pikeplacepublicmarket , stay open year-round. 🐟But let’s be honest: the market magic really shines when the sun’s out, food trucks are rolling, and bouquets are overflowing with peonies and dahlias. 💐 Each market brings its own mix of local vendors and fresh finds. Many even accept SNAP/EBT benefits. 🥕🧺 And the best part? You can reach a ton of them by hopping on a Sound Transit train or bus.🚉✨ Swipe through for a roundup of transit-accessible markets → then head to the link in our bio for the full list! 🚎🔗
