I recently took a look at the airport light rail line, and it looks to be nearly completed up to the station on Highway 99. Track is in place, and they're stringing catenary.
I thought "Hey, maybe they'll open the line soon!" so I checked on the ST website.
> The 13.9-mile line from Westlake Station to Tukwila International
> Boulevard Station will open in summer 2009, with a 1.7 mile extension
> to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport opening by the end of that year.
2009? Over 1-1/2 years to go? What's the problem here guys? I know they're a government agency, but what in the world will they be doing for all that time?
