Description

Seattle’s Denny Way just got a major transit upgrade thanks to voter-approved measures, featuring dedicated bus lanes, new turning rules, and restricted parking—all designed to smooth out Route 8, the city’s busiest bus line moving over 7,000 people daily. With Seattle’s population surging by 80,000 without a proportional spike in cars, officials are pushing for more investment. This fall, voters will decide on a ballot measure to double the sales tax for transit from 0.15% to 0.3%, potentially unlocking $138 million annually for ten years to keep up with growth and ensure efficient, accessible public transportation for all.
