Eight New Miles of Light Rail Are Here

Eight more miles of light rail tracks will open to the public this weekend when service expands from Angle Lake south to downtown Federal Way on Saturday morning.

Public transit advocates have been waiting for service to Federal Way since it was approved by voters under ST 2 in 2008. Then came the housing bubble and the Great Recession. Plans for the extension were postponed and then folded into the new ST 3, approved by voters in 2016.
