That number could go up even higher come 2021, when the line stretches to the U District, Roosevelt, and Northgate. But it has become one of Seattle’s most popular transit lines, growing more than 6 percent in ridership last year.

Seattle has had the Sound Transit Link light rail line for about nine years now, and sometimes it still feels brand-new-partially because of the 2016 extension to the University of Washington and Capitol Hill, and partially because so many other cities got their rail systems in before us.
