Virtual neighborhood briefings

Publish Date

As Sound Transit continues to expand service throughout the region, communicating with our project neighbors remains one of our top priorities. Our Community Outreach team is dedicated to building relationships, sharing information, listening to your needs and answering all your questions. 

We had previously planned to host in-person briefings in communities along the new route throughout the second half of 2020. Now, due to ongoing social distancing restrictions, we’ll be conducting these briefings through online videos. 

Our first video provides an overview of the entire Federal Way Link Extension project. You’ll see the latest conceptual renderings of all three station areas and learn about new developments.

You can watch the video on our YouTube page – watch it here. 

In addition to the project overview, we’re launching more detailed briefing videos for SeaTac, Des Moines, Kent and Federal Way so that you can learn about specific project developments in your community. 

The videos will soon be available online at the project webpage.
 

New murals by local artists

Have you seen our beautiful new temporary art installations at Federal Way Link Extension construction sites? Last month we began hanging 35 murals by six South King County artists along construction fencing.

Shortly after installation, however, we discovered vandalism to many of the new works at our downtown Federal Way construction site. Designed to reflect the rich diversity of the surrounding community, the murals include numerous depictions of people of color, and we believe this vandalism was motivated by racism. We urge anyone who may have information about these acts to contact Sound Transit’s Security Desk.

We’ve rehung the repaired murals, and we hope you’ll take a moment to enjoy the custom art created specifically for this project. 

Learn more about the art and artists.
