Extending light rail from Sea-Tac/Airport Station to S. 200th Street
Funding to extend Central Link light rail south from the SeaTac/Airport Station to S. 200th Street in the City of SeaTac was approved by the region's voters in November 2008. The extension will run on an elevated guideway primarily along 28th Avenue S. It will provide reliable service to Sea-Tac Airport, downtown Seattle and the University of Washington.
The S. 200th Street light rail extension project consists of 1.6 miles of track and a new Link station near S. 200th Street and 28th Avenue S. in the City of SeaTac.
