Does Sound Transit Have Enough Money? Plus, What Data Centers Will Do to Our Electricity Bills
Today on the show, Jane is joined by public information officer for Sound Transit (and king of Numtots) Henry Bendon and contributor Hannah Krieg to chat about the next steps for Sound Transit 3 and when we can expect light rail in West Seattle and Ballard. Then they discuss the news that 5 new data centers have been proposed for Seattle and what that could do to our electricity costs. Finally, they talk about good news and how it turns out that parking on the wrong side of the street is illegal.
Please take Sound Transit’s survey here to help them solve their long-term financial challenges.
