About us
Sound Transit is transforming how the Central Puget Sound region moves by planning, building and operating regional transit systems that give millions of riders an alternative to sitting in traffic. As the agency prepares for nearly a million new Central Puget Sound residents by 2040, transit services are expanding to meet today’s growing needs. Thanks to voter approval of the largest mass transit expansion in the region’s history, Sound Transit’s light rail system will grow to four times the size it is today. When complete, the 116-mile light rail system will stretch from Everett to Tacoma and connect major job and population centers in Seattle including South Lake Union, Seattle Center, Ballard and West Seattle. It will also extend east to Bellevue, Redmond, Issaquah and Mercer Island. As Sound Transit grows, we seek innovative, technical and creative professionals who are ready to come on board and make a difference. Career opportunities include information technology, finance, construction management and engineering positions. Apply today at www.soundtransit.org/jobs.

It was great presenting at #APTATech sharing details on Sound Transit’s Accessible Wayfinding pilot in partnership with GoodMaps. Kudos to my co-panelists Satinder Bhalla and Brian Anderson on their engaging presentations.

Our role in supporting regional growth goes beyond delivering a great ride. We strive to foster livable communities around transit by supporting opportunities for transit-oriented development and affordable housing near our stations. Land used for construction of the Lynnwood City Center Station is set to become 167 units of affordable housing serving households earning 30%-60% area median income, pending Board approval. Learn more about the proposed development here: https://ow.ly/RsQk50SQqnO

Today, we celebrated the advent of heavy construction on the Sumner Parking Access Improvement Project with a groundbreaking ceremony. The project will provide approximately 500 net new parking spaces at the Sumner station. “This project will provide increased access to Sounder, increased access to the region, and increased access to economic opportunity,” said Sound Transit Board Vice Chair and Fife Mayor Kim Roscoe. “As a Sound Transit Board Member from the South Sound and as a resident of Pierce County, it’s great to see our region’s investments in a robust transit system moving forward.”

Stories like Brandan Le's are a huge part of my why. Projects like Sound Transit's Lynnwood Link Extension (1 Line Extension to Lynnwood) have such a profound impact on the communities we live in but also to the countless number of individuals who work on them. What an awesome experience to have worked on Lynnwood Link Extension as the first project in his professional career and then to see it being completed and open to the public. Thank you to everyone working on making our communities better and building stronger connections for all. #beingHNTB #MakingConnectionsPossible #SoundTransit #1Line #SnoCoLink #RidetheWave
One month left! HNTB is excited to celebrate and sponsor the upcoming opening of @SoundTransit’s 1 Line extension to Lynnwood on August 30th. I had the privilege to work on this project for the past 2 years as one of the designers for Roadway and MOT under Paul Chu's guidance and mentorship. This was my first project at the start of my career, and I was excited but nervous to work on such a large scale project right off the bat. It reminded me of when I was a student attending the University of Washington, where I relied on the Link as one of my main transportation to travel around Seattle. What getting the chance to work on this project meant to me was being a part of bringing reliable transportation to students like younger me and the many communities it serves. I learned a lot from this project through helping create channelization, traffic control, and detour plans as well as proposing wayfinding signage locations (as seen pictured below) for navigating to the Link. It taught me that there's more than putting lines and text on paper as an engineer. Coordination among the project team, contractors, partners, stakeholders and the client was crucial in completing the many tasks and milestones. It was a pleasure to work along side many great engineers to help deliver HNTB's #4for4 to our clients, congratulations to everyone's hard work! Come say hello at the ribbon cutting and the night market on opening day. #BeingHNTB #MakingConnectionsPossible #1Line #SoundTransit #SnoCoLink
