Save the Graham Street Station
Sound Transit Board Members
The Graham Street Light Rail Station is scheduled to open in 2031 and add a new street level light rail station near MLK & South Graham Street, between Columbia City and Othello stations, providing service every six minutes at peak hours.
After decades of community organizing and planning, the Graham Street Station was included in the Sound Transit 3 Plan (ST3). The people unanimously approved ST3 that extended the routes and all of the new stations. Graham Station is one of them and long overdue. Now Sound Transit Board is threatening to delay the station once again.
As an area that has suffered from historical underinvestments in our community and one with many low-income residents and households with limited car access, we need affordable, reliable and convenient transit. The Hillman City/Brighton communities have waited too long already. Let's deliver a strong message to the Sound Transit Board not to cut Graham Street Station. They should not pit communities against one another. We need to remind them that the people voted and approved the ST3 Plan and Sound Transit must deliver the full ST3 Plan as proposed. Anything less than that is not an option.
