Have you heard?! Sound Transit is considering cutting Graham Street and Boeing Access Road stations from the voter-approved ST3 plan.

That’s unacceptable.

Car dependency pollutes the air we breathe, harms the ecosystems we rely on, deepens economic inequality, and isolates our communities. Voters approved the full ST3 plan and are already paying for it through taxes and fees. Sound Transit must deliver the system we voted for.

The Graham Street Station in particular would fill a significant gap between Columbia City and Othello stations, providing an essential connection to jobs, schools, healthcare, and opportunity for thousands of residents. Hillman City and Brighton are communities that have long faced historic underinvestment and should not be forced to compete for investments they were already promised.

Join us outside Union Station this Thursday, 5/28, from 10am–noon to demand Sound Transit save Graham Street Station and fully deliver ST3.
