Hundreds Turn Out for Save Ballard Rail March

About 300 people marched in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood on Sunday to push back against Sound Transit’s potential plan to cut or delay light rail service to Ballard and Interbay. The project costs have ballooned from $12 billion to over $20 billion, prompting transit officials to consider halting the line before reaching Ballard. City and county leaders spoke at the rally, arguing the cuts would break a promise to voters who supported the project overwhelmingly in 2016.
