Article is out of date and not encyclopedic

This article written in 2007, and is in the style of an essay rather than an encyclopedia article. In my opinion, the whole thing should be re-written and updated. I've started on this but could use help.

I added some details about recent events but in very short form. Here are some ideas for topics the article could touch on:

• Conversion of the downtown Seattle bus tunnels to rail tunnels

• The history of the 2 Line, especially with regard to opposition from Bellevue real estate interests and the technical feat of building an electrified railway on the I-90 floating bridge

• The history of the Sound Transit 2 and Sound Transit 3 ballot measures

• The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on ridership and construction

• More details on the Lynnwood Link extension and its impact on Snohomish County

• A section covering the planning and review process for the West Seattle, Ballard, Everett, and Tacoma extensions

• The Gondola proposal for West Seattle

• The controversy surrounding the CID/Chinatown station location

• Statistics over the years for ridership, system length, etc.

Please let me know what you think and feel free to make whatever changes you feel would be good!
