Project updates
Like many agencies nationwide that are balancing transit operations and mega-project capital expansions, Sound Transit faces rapidly escalating costs in nearly every area of its work.
The “Enterprise Initiative” is Sound Transit’s comprehensive effort aimed at delivering the maximum benefits of ST3 within available financial resources. As part of this effort, the Sound Transit Board is evaluating different approaches to updating the ST3 System Plan in summer 2026, which may include new ways to build, phase, or sequence projects.

Overview
Sound Transit and the City of Lakewood are collaborating to build a better-connected network. Our aim is for more people to walk, roll, bike, and take transit to Lakewood Station and connect to neighborhood destinations. All improvements will be complete by 2030.
Sound Transit's Sounder train service gives Pierce County residents a dependable, traffic-free commute to and from Seattle. Seven round-trip trains run every weekday between Lakewood and Seattle. A smooth, comfy, Wi-Fi-enabled trip from Lakewood Station to Seattle's King Street Station takes about 75 minutes.
