King County Metro planning service changes for new Renton Transit Center
As part of the Stride S1 line, Sound Transit is building a new transit center in Renton, adjacent to the existing South Renton Park and Ride. When it opens in 2028, it will be known as simply Renton Transit Center, and will replace both the existing Renton Transit Center in downtown Renton, and the adjacent South Renton Park and Ride. Commuters need not fret over lack of parking, as the new transit center will include a new garage dedicated for commuter parking that is larger than the parking at both current facilities that are reserved for transit commuters. With the transit center moving, bus service has to move with it, and Metro has made its first service proposal on what that may look like in its Renton Area Mobility Project (RAMP).

American socialism past & present, with historian Jill Lepore
American socialists are having their best year since 1912. In last week's midterms, six socialists were elected to Congress, and three were elected mayor, which means New York, L.A., Washington, D.C., Seattle, Ann Arbor and Providence are now led by democratic socialists. But socialism means different things to different people. Terry Gross talks with Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard historian and New Yorker staff writer Jill Lepore about these victories and the history of American socialism.
