Public feedback period open for additional Tacoma Dome Link Extension stations and alignment

Sound Transit announcement.

On Feb. 27, Sound Transit launched a public engagement period for potential additional station and alignment alternatives for the Tacoma Dome Link Extension.

Through environmental work to date, Sound Transit identified the need to consider more station options in Fife due to the presence of floodplains and an additional route in the South Federal Way/Milton area to avoid potential effects to known cultural resources and constructability challenges along the I-5 alignment.

If identified for further study by the Sound Transit Board of Directors, the project’s Draft Environmental Impact Statement is now anticipated to be published in mid-2024. Service is projected to begin in 2035. Dates and project milestones remain subject to change as further study continues.

The online and in-person open houses will provide information on these new options.
