Sound Transit launches new pet policy for light rail, Sounder trains

Pets are now allowed on Sound Transit rides, including the agency's light rail and Sounder trains, during a new pet policy pilot program. During the pilot, which will last through spring, riders will be able to bring their dogs on a short leash — if they are well behaved — or in a carrier, the transportation agency said. Cats and other small pets must be in secure carriers.

‘This is a problem.' Ferry service cuts prompt outcry on Pierce County island

Proposed service cuts to the Anderson Island ferry in 2027, including on weekends, holidays and both early and late daily runs, have prompted outcry from residents who say rates are increasing despite a reduction in service. More than 700 people filled out a recent survey about the proposed changes, said Josh Diekmann, the director of Pierce County’s Planning and Public Works Department. In a statement Thursday, Diekmann said staff are “conducting a full analysis of the survey data to prepare an updated schedule,” which will be presented along with survey results to the Anderson Island Community Advisory Board later this month. “While that analysis is still underway, we have heard the community’s concerns clearly — particularly regarding the proposed Sunday schedule and two-boat service changes. We have also received feedback from first responders who serve Anderson Island, and we are closely evaluating how our proposed schedule can be adjusted,” Diekmann said. “We’re seeing maintenance needs increase significantly for our two ferries as they age. The initial schedule proposal was developed to direct more of our ferry program’s limited resources toward critical maintenance work and provide more reliable day-to-day service. We know that any schedule change can have real impacts on

Jake: Seattle-to-Portland bullet train is a hilariously horrible idea

I’ve ridden high-speed rail all over Europe. It was a novelty, and it was convenient. But America is not Europe, which is why a Seattle-to-Portland bullet train is an awful idea. There are plenty of reasons, but let’s zero in on the most obvious one: cost. The best...

SURVEY: West Seattle Junction Association wants your thoughts on SW Alaska’s possibly semi-carless future

As a followup to last week’s walking tour (WSB coverage here) about SDOT‘s plan for Junction street changes when light rail arrives, the West Seattle Junction Association wants your thoughts on the plan. SDOT first circulated its concepts in a survey on which we reported in 2024. Nested in that 2024 survey – as detailed in this PDF we obtained at the time – were the stirrings of some potentially dramatic changes to SW Alaska, also seen on page 46 in this SDOT document. That in particular is what WSJA is focusing on with their new survey, which they asked us to share with you. Answer the new WSJA survey here.
