Sound Transit has a busy few years ahead. 

Trains are set to start running to Federal Way in December, but a long-awaited east side expansion across Lake Washington has been delayed again – to at least April 2026. 

That comes as riders and public transit enthusiasts alike are clamoring for additional light rail service to Ballard, West Seattle and beyond.

Amid all of this, Sound Transit has a new CEO, former King County Executive Dow Constantine.

Constantine came to KUOW for a long conversation about the future of Sound Transit and to answer several questions from our audience.
