UW, Sound Transit agree on light rail extension
SEATTLE (AP) - The University of Washington and Sound Transit have agreed on an extension of a light rail line to the Seattle campus.
After final approval by the Board of Regents and Sound Transit Board, the agreement clears the way for seeking a $750 million dollar federal grant needed to start building the $1.6 billion extension.
The university terminal would be close to Husky Stadium and the UW Medical Center.
The light rail line between downtown Seattle and Sea-Tac Airport is about 70 percent complete and is scheduled to open in 2009.
