SoundTransit 2 Is Coming To A Vote In November

Best news I've heard all day:

Voters in November will consider a $17.9 billion plan to extend light rail to Lynnwood, Overlake and north Federal Way, and to expand bus service.

The 18-member board voted unanimously late this afternoon to put the measure on the ballot, although two members, Metropolitan King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer of Federal Way and King County Executive Ron Sims, said they don't endorse the plan.

This package gets us light rail to Redmond (through Bellevue), Lynnwood (through Northgate), and Federal Way. (Yes!)

(I'm voting pro, as you might imagine.)
