The West Seattle and Ballard Link Extensions (WSBLE) were evaluated together in the WSBLE Draft EIS published in January 2022. The extensions were initially on the same environmental review timeline. However, given additional environmental review needed for project refinements for BLE resulting from the Sound Transit Board action in March 2023 and July 2023, environmental review for the two extensions will now proceed on different timelines.

A new Draft EIS will be completed for Ballard Link. The new BLE Draft EIS will build upon and incorporate the existing work to date on the WSBLE Draft EIS including all previous scoping comments, public outreach and feedback and environmental analysis.

South Downtown Hub planning is a separate and collaborative effort between multiple public agencies. The development of the vision for the South Downtown is built on past planning efforts and supported by the City of Seattle, King County, and Sound Transit, who are all working in partnership with the community to realize visions put forward by the community.
