The 1 Line extension to Federal Way, which opened on Dec. 6, has enhanced transportation in South King County by providing reliable, traffic-free connections. This development also paves the way for transit-oriented growth in the region. New opportunities are emerging to create walkable and vibrant station areas that include housing, services, and community amenities located close to transit stations. This approach aims to promote a more accessible and interconnected community, making it easier for residents to engage with their surroundings and utilize public transportation effectively.
