About Sound Transit
Sound Transit is transforming how the Greater Seattle area moves by planning, building and operating regional transit systems that give millions of riders an alternative to sitting in traffic.
Thanks to voter approval of the largest mass transit expansion in the region’s history, Sound Transit’s light rail system will grow to four times the size it is today. When complete, the 116-mile light rail system will stretch from Everett to Tacoma and connect major job and population centers in Seattle including South Lake Union, Seattle Center, Ballard and West Seattle. It will also extend east to Bellevue, Redmond, Issaquah and Mercer Island.

We are connecting more people to more places.
Hundreds of thousands of people in the Puget Sound are riding Sound Transit trains and buses every day – 47 million people in 2017, to be exact. And, we’re funded to plan, design and build the largest transit system expansion in the nation.
Just like any company, we hire a variety of professionals from accountants to real estate professionals, systems and electrical engineers and IT project managers, to architects and graphic designers.
We are growing.
By 2024, Link light rail will extend east between Seattle, Bellevue and downtown Redmond, north past Northgate all the way to Lynnwood, and south to Federal Way. Sounder commuter rail will also extend south with two new stations. Fast and reliable Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) will soon start operations around the region.
Sound Transit needs creative people who are willing to work hard together to keep us, and the region, moving.
