The intersection of East Yesler and 12th Avenue has long been identified as dangerous for cyclists. Dozens mourned the death of Christian Salyer there Saturday.
Thanks to an expansion to Bellevue that opened in late March, the Seattle region's light rail system is now the most-used in the US.
@mclindblom.bsky.social confirms: Sound Transit is reporting about 155,000 daily trips on its Link light rail services www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Seattle's light rail & streetcar lines carried 4.8 million riders in April—a 44% increase above March, after Link Line 2 was extended to connect Seattle & Bellevue across Lake Washington.
Seattle's light rail & streetcar lines are now the most-ridden in the nation, above LA, Boston, or San Diego.
