No one saw this coming?!

A new problem is threatening to impact the opening date of Sound Transit’s Eastside starter light rail line.

Crews discovered loose and broken tiles on the South Bellevue station passenger platform.

KIRO Newsradio reporter Kate Stone joins The Jack and Spike Show with Spike O’Neill and guest host Angela Poe Russell with all the details, as well as a thoughtful look back at the myriad challenges the light rail extension project across Lake Washington has faced since voters approved it in 2008.

Tune in with Jack and Spike, weekdays from 12pm to 3pm on KIRO Newsradio 97.3 FM.
