Seattle s red-hot real estate and construction market are dramatically driving up costs of development for multiple Sound Transit link extension projects.
In a recent meeting of Sound Transit s Board Executive Committee, members were presented with new figures that showed a 50% increase in the estimated cost for the West Seattle-Ballard link from 2019 estimates and a 10% increase in cost for the Tacoma Dome extension.
