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, Ballard Link Extension (BLE) needed additional environmental review for new project refinements resulting from the Sound Transit Board actions in March 2023 and July 2023. Because of this, the environmental reviews for the two extensions will now continue on different timelines.

The new BLE Draft EIS will build upon the 2022 WSBLE Draft EIS while carrying forward all previous analysis and comments, including previous comments, public outreach and feedback, and environmental analysis.
