wow that's deep underground, I've been in the light rail from seatac to westlake. I'm glad to see they are expanding!

I haven't lived in Washington State since 2009 but I did vote for the system and did help with the 3rd Ave bus tunnel construction in 1987. I'm glad to see that it finally made it to the campus. Can't wait to see the videos when the Northgate and Federal Way links are finished.

3:52, I'm the big guy in the vest. Thanks for the posting.

And no doubt half of the persons in the video bitched about public transportation before this was built, and raged against the idea that they would be taxed for a project like this.

😄😁....yep.You're probably right.

Before the Freeway we had Highway 99 or Aurora. I was among the first to travel the new Freeway I-5 through downtown back in the early sixties. Doubt I'll get around to the light rail but it was interesting to see.

I don't understand how Americans do not get escalators. It's stand right walk left. Just like the highway blocking the left causes road rage.

These people are probably car drivers and are on it for the experience due to its opening.Savy metro/ subway/ light rail riders know better.

1:47 A SCHINDLER ELEVATOR GUY!!

Interesting choice to put Cal colors in the tile at the entrance to the Udub station. :)

Thats beautiful...👍

Nice...haven't ridden the link since they expanded past Westlake I will definitely have to check out the new stations. Hope the don't become crapholes like tukwilla station.

I live in the Tacoma area, and I'm confused. is this an extension of the seatac-seattle light rail? or is this a completely new one?

It's an extension. Plus they are currently working on extending the service to the Northgate Mall, and that station should open in a year or two. After that I believe they are putting in a line to Bellevue and also Redmond, although they were arguing about whether to go over the water via bridge or under via tube (as they did to cross lake Washington to the U District) last I heard. They also plan to extend the current rail south to Federal way, but possibly all the way down to Tacoma to connect with the existing light rail near the Tacoma Dome, and in the other direction, all the way up North to Everett. Its all in their 25 year plan if voters adopt it.

Ugh, I'm getting motion sickness from watching this. It's way too shaky.

You are shaking your camera like there is an earthquake.

The first two escalators seem to be "backwards" where you use the one on the LEFT side instead of the right, then the final escalator is "correct" where you use the one on the right side. What dyslexic person designed this ?????

You didn't pay your the money for the ticket so why and what made you think this is ok!? You have to pay for your ticket no matter what!!

The exterior of both the Capitol Hill and University stations are so plain. You would think that they would put more effort into providing a more aesthetically pleasing structure, but no this is Seattle where corrugated metal is seen as a nice material for new apartments, where most of the skyscrapers being built are boxes, and everything is that will do. I love this city, but there needs to be more civic pride if we truly want to be considered a world class city.

But the interior of this station is sure attractive, largely because of the artwork!

Yea, because people in this area are so eager to pay taxes to support public transportation.

I think the outside of the station looks nice, it’s supposed to blend into the area.
