Soccer fans may know that Seattle is one of 18 cities that are part of the official USA bid to host the 2018/2022 World Cup.
Seattle lists 2 stadia as part of the bid: Husky Stadium and Qwest Field. Most of the other cities list one.
The reason I link to is is that the descriptions of the transit options around each stadium don’t include light rail! By 2018, if all goes as planned, we’ll have the perfect light rail system for this bid: Downtown, the airport, Qwest Field and Husky Stadium will all be connected by a single light rail line.
The bid committee must be made aware of this fact at once.
