Link light rail construction south from the SeaTac to Federal Way has passed the 25 percent mark as the new line rises from the ground along the new 7.8-mile route .
Crews broke ground last July for heavy construction - the new line with stations in Kent/Des Moines, Star Lake and Federal Way opens in 2024 offering an alternative to sitting in I-5 traffic.
