reel icon 5 years ago today, we said hello to 3 new light rail stations: Northgate, Roosevelt and U District!👋🚊

It’s hard to believe how much has changed since that opening day back in 2021. Since then, our light rail system has continued to grow across the region, with Pinehurst Station’s opening just this week bringing us to 51 stations regionwide! 🥳

Here’s to looking back at how far we’ve come and to all the places still ahead. 🚆✨

reel icon 🎨✨ New art at Tacoma Dome Station!
 
We are grateful for the creative knowledge provided by Puyallup Tribe artist Anthony Duenas. A new collection of his work is now part of the Sounder platform, bringing stories of family, animals, land, sky, creation and connection into the station experience.
 
From the Bear and the Ant to Salmon and Octopus, each piece has its own story and meaning, rooted in Puyallup culture and Coast Salish traditions.
 
This work is generously provided by the Puyallup Tribe and the artist, and it is related to the mitigation for Sound Transit’s Tacoma Trestle Track & Signal Reconstruction Project.
 
Swipe through 👀 to see the artwork!
