In W Seattle @SoundTransit will uproot the lives of nearly 160 families who depend on the Alki Beach Academy. Listen to co-owner Jordan Crawley — who’s not even sure they’ll survive a move. Sign the petition at https://t.co/CevXzzr6KF to demand accountability. #lightrail

Look at the facts below -- that came from @SoundTransit's own data. We're not increasing transit ridership or decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. Time to put the brakes on Sound Transit. Go to https://t.co/CevXzzr6KF and sign the petition. #accountabilty #signthepetition

To make lasting change, you take legislative action. Which we'll do in the WA Legislature. (See our petition below.) @SoundTransit ridership is way down, traffic will still increase by 35%, they're 300% overbudget, & greenhouse gas savings will be tiny. https://t.co/AeIB0uAnEL

Key things to know about light rail. 1) Ineffective unless built in dense areas. 2) Extremely expensive & inflexible. 3) Light rail = light capacity. @SoundTransit is 3x over budget. There's a better way. Go to https://t.co/CevXzzr6KF #accountabilty #lightrail #timeforchange

From Everett to Pierce County, Sound Transit's light rail plans will demolish businesses and greenspaces for little to no gain. Hey, West Seattle! See what's coming and go to https://t.co/CevXzzr6KF to sign the petition for accountability. #signthepetition #westseattle

Press conference highlighting problems w/ @SoundTransit 3's latest projects. Everett, the Eastside -- and especially West Seattle -- biz will be pushed out, demolished, and likely close forever because they won't be fairly compensated. Time for accountability.#signthepetition

Press conference in West Seattle showing cost overruns & failures of Sound Transit. West Seattle plan is arguably the worst of ST3, costing $4 billion, greatly affecting the enviro, biz owners, the community -- and offers no benefits. More buses please!! Sign our petition!

Jefferson Square in West Seattle -- and the apartments above it -- are going to be razed by Sound Transit to create a light rail station. But it's NOT going to create new transit riders nor reduce traffic. Don't want this? Hit the website and sign the petition! #accountability

Sound Transit's new plans don't make financial sense. Putting light rail into West Seattle for instance. $4 billion for 4 miles that won't create new transit riders or decrease traffic. So why build it? The financial, enviro and biz costs are enormous. Hit our site for more.

Big changes for West Seattle. @SoundTransit will demolish this green space (w/ a heron colony) for light rail -- on columns 165 feet tall. It will create no new riders nor reduce traffic. Go to our website and sign the petition. #accountability #smartertransit #lightrail

For Seattle, Tacoma and Everett light rail doesn't work for everyone. Only 3% will use it in 2050. Let's encourage the other 97% to take transit by offering more solutions. (Conrad doesn't own a car and explains why.) Hit our website and sign our petition. #signthepetition

Live in King, Pierce or Snohomish County? Households pay $149/mo for light rail, -- a tax that never ends. Using Sound Transit’s data, only 3% of all trips will be on these trains by 2050. Meanwhile, the nation’s worse traffic congestion increase was Seattle. Sign our petition.

West Seattle and Ballard are facing big, disruptive changes from Sound Transit. A light rail line 160 feet tall, shaving off Pigeon Point, green spaces and demolishing key neighborhoods, including Delridge, Avalon, and all of Jefferson Square. No new transit riders, either.

Only 3% of people are going to use Sound Transit trains in 2050 -- after we spend at least another $148 billion to complete them. Meanwhile, congestion like this is going to increase by 35% by 2050. There's a better way. Hit our link and sign the petition. #acountability

West Seattle will get Pigeon Point shaved off by Sound Transit, as well as demolishing key chunks of Delridge, Avalon and The Junction. Result? No new ridership gains at a cost of $4 billion. Check our website for a better way. #betterway #smartertransit #westseattle #lightrail

West Seattle and Ballard have some big, negative changes coming -- w/ traffic getting snarled for years. If nothing is done, we'll say goodbye to chunks of classic neighborhoods. #westseattle #ballard #smartertransit #betterway #soundtransit #lightrail

Most households in King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties are paying $149/month to build Sound Transit. But it's a tax that never ends and most people will never use the service. There's a better way. Learn more at https://t.co/5ieB39cnlj #smartertransit #bettertransit
