Federal Way Link Extension Recognized as Innovative Transportation Solution!

The Federal Way Link Extension (FWLE) has been recognized as an Innovative Transportation Solution at the 2025–2026 Women’s Transportation Seminar (WTS) Puget Sound Awards. The 7.8-mile extension of Sound Transit’s 1 Line, which began service on December 6, 2025, connects South King County communities to jobs, education, healthcare, and cultural destinations. FWLE not only expands regional mobility but also sets a high bar for equity and inclusion—surpassing diversity goals with strong participation from disadvantaged, small, and women-owned businesses. More than 1,100 women and non-binary professionals contributed to the project, playing key roles across leadership, design, construction, and community engagement.
