In this, the season of national spending, it looks like those who hoped for a way to catch a flight that didn’t involve cashing in on airport karma, pricey taxis, or the 194 from downtown will only need to wait five more years for their wishes to come true. Sound Transit is finally planning to make he light rail system a little less pointless. For now, it’s just a proposal and not a full-blown $holiday miracle, but I’m willing to concede that it’s a bit of good news. And just in time for the 2010 Olympics — who knew?
