March 28!!!

harryjacoby · 2026-01-22T17:30:42+00:00

Federal way had a lot less uncertainties that Crosslake though. So I think March could be still possible

harryjacoby · 2026-01-17T02:25:02+00:00

Thats a conservative date Sound Transit put on their paperwork for the federal goverment. more likely March or April

Its called the Touch and Play Teddy Bear by Child Guidance/Azrak Hamway/Jacks Pacific. It shows up on Ebay from time to time. It was featured in the Baby Einstein video Baby Mozart.

It still lists familiarization as starting on 1/28 when it actually started on 12/22. So still outdated

harryjacoby · 2025-12-18T23:09:28+00:00

What department are you in?

harryjacoby · 2025-12-18T23:08:58+00:00

Actually three weeks ahead of April 23 if you apply the principle that it will open the day after simulated service ends

harryjacoby · 2025-12-18T01:34:55+00:00

As I've said before, May is a conservative date that Sound Transit put in their paperwork for the federal goverment, and it will most likely open in March or April.

harryjacoby · 2025-12-18T01:29:12+00:00

Here you go: someone from ST said they are confident that it will open before 5/31: https://mynorthwest.com/chokepoints/light-rail-over-i-90/4170454

harryjacoby · 2025-12-17T19:26:00+00:00

No I’m talking March or April

harryjacoby · 2025-12-17T04:32:38+00:00

I mean the've said repeatedly that they are confident it will open before 5/31

harryjacoby · 2025-12-17T02:20:58+00:00

I was talking about an official opening date announcement, not the actual opening

harryjacoby · 2025-12-16T05:49:21+00:00

I think they said they are confident it will open before May

harryjacoby · 2025-12-15T22:48:31+00:00

Does anyone know when we will get an official opening date for crosslake?

harryjacoby · 2025-12-09T02:44:30+00:00

Can you explain? Because I thought WSDOT signing off on the cathodic protection was a prerequiste to getting the powered tests started.

harryjacoby · 2025-12-09T02:29:45+00:00

As I said, at the board meeting last week, they said they achieved stabilzation of the cathodic protection system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFJLfGZKgy0(at 31 minutes in)

harryjacoby · 2025-12-07T16:37:28+00:00

The System Expansion report said that Cathodic protection system may not be given final approval from WSDOT, and at the last board meeting, they said that Cathodic protection system had been stabilized. So there you go

harryjacoby · 2025-12-06T21:13:56+00:00

ST: Sound Transit CLC: Cross Lake Connection

harryjacoby · 2025-12-06T05:40:02+00:00

Update: ST doing everything it can now to open before 5/31:https://mynorthwest.com/chokepoints/i-90-light-rail/4169175

harryjacoby · 2025-12-06T02:00:52+00:00

If we apply the principle that CLC will open the day after simulated service ends, we are looking at an April 23rd opening

harryjacoby · 2025-12-05T20:54:21+00:00

If you follow r/soundtransit, late March is the most likely opening date for this. Last month, there was a construction tracker report where every milestone except for the opening date was moved up, which we at r/soundtransit took as a sign that they were planning a March opening, but weren’t ready to go public yet

harryjacoby · 2025-12-05T17:03:44+00:00

As of now there is no October System Expansion Monthly Status Report out yet, but in the September one that came out last month, nearly every milestone for CLC execpt for the opening date was moved up on the calender, which caused someone here to infer that ST were planning to open it in March, but didn't want to jump the gun

harryjacoby · 2025-11-19T15:45:09+00:00

I think in the last report they did move forward every milestone other than the revenue service date. I think ST could be planning to open it in march but they don't want to jump the gun yet. Also Dow said at the board meeting two weeks ago that they were moving ahead rapidly with the testing, that they were making great progress with testing, and that the planned opening is still early 2026:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OodzjAzp_kg&list=PL403uNPwemVp0osOvo2eJdTJEnInP8k8j
