It looks like several North Link stations are listed here. East Link is supposed to go from downtown Seattle to Redmond. I'm removing these now because it's pretty clearly a mistake. -- Brianhe ( talk) 04:07, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
Sound Transit just published an update a few months ago here. I changed this article to reflect the update as best as possible, but if anything was missed or stated erroneously, please correct it. Thanks, 50.47.195.198 ( talk) 23:42, 11 March 2012 (UTC).
I also assume that when it says the line will open in 2023, that means all the stations from Seattle to Overlake, and I will update the articles about each station to reflect this. If I interpreted this wrong, please fix the all the articles about the stations as well as this one. Thanks, 50.47.195.198 ( talk) 23:47, 11 March 2012 (UTC).
The current wording implies that there were no commuters and no bedroom communities prior to the 1940 floating bridge. This appears to be contradicted by sources like More Voices, New Stories: King County, Washington's First 150 Years which states "Passengers debarking the boats at Leschi rode the cable cars across the ridges to downtown Seattle; this would become a common commute for Eastsiders." There is a printed 1930 advertisement with special commuter rates in Lake Washington: The East Side (Arcadia) p. 24. There are also indications that the Kirkland and Houghton ferries were used for commuting in particular during World War II from Seattle to the Lake Washington Shipyard in Houghton (now Kirkland), which a) indicates the Eastside was an industrial employment center, not (entirely) a bedroom community and b) the ferry system was part of the commute prior to the floating bridge. ☆ Bri ( talk) 16:28, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Hey,
SounderBruce, I'll be reviewing this. It will take me some time to get through it given the length, but here are some starting comments for the lead.
@ SounderBruce: I should be able to post comments tomorrow. Sorry for the delay! ceran thor 01:17, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
Can we drop "future" from the lede description as "a future light rail line" on Saturday when the Bellevue-Redmond section opens? ☆ Bri ( talk) 17:46, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
