reel icon What does it take to get a Link train ready to roll? 

A daily check, a whole team and plenty of work you probably never see. 

Meet Koi, an electro-mechanic apprentice helping inspect and maintain trains before they head into service. 

Before there’s a train on the platform, there’s a whole lot happening behind the scenes.

reel icon Are you looking both ways before crossing train tracks? 

It’s See Tracks? Think Train! Week, and we want you to practice being a LOOKer! That means:

📵Avoid looking at screens or using headphones.
🚦Obey all signals, gates, and warning signs.
👀 Look both ways before crossing!

Crossing safety starts with you. Click the link in our bio for more information on Sound Transit’s At-Grade Crossing Program.

reel icon You may have walked across these pathways hundreds of times without knowing their purpose. 

These tactile wayfinding tiles provide information for riders who are blind or have low vision, and is just one of the many ways we’re helping people move through stations with greater confidence and independence. 

Accessibility is built into every part of the rider experience — including the details beneath our feet.

reel icon Most riders never see this part. 

Before trains head out into service, they spend time behind the scenes getting cleaned, inspected, and prepared for the day ahead. 

And yes, it's pretty satisfying to watch.

reel icon Ever wonder how public art makes its way into a station? 👀🎨

We went behind the scenes with STart project manager Lucile Chich to watch artist Romson Bustillo’s work take its place at Pinehurst Station.

The colorful glyphs started with ideas shared during three community workshops in North Seattle, inspired by local flora, fauna, landscapes and memories of other places. Romson, who attended school in the Pinehurst area, brought those ideas together with his own Filipino background to create the artwork riders will soon see throughout the station.

🛠️ Fabricator: @winsorfireform

See it for yourself when Pinehurst Station opens Sept. 30! ✨
