					Tacoma Dome Link Extension (2035)

From Sea-Tac Airport Station, trains will travel on an elevated guideway along 28th Ave S and State Route 99 to Federal Way then move towards the western side of Interstate 5 down to Fife, and eventually travel over E Bay St towards the Tacoma Dome Station on S 25th St.

As part of Sound Transit Proposition 1, which passed in November, 2008, Link Light Rail would terminate at Redondo/Star Lake. This extension is known as the South Corridor High Capacity Transit (HCT) Project.^[1] The rest would be reserved right-of-way for the future.
