12. Sound Transit 2
~$80m capital contribution for
Tacoma Link extension approved by
voters
Considered a prototypical double-
track extension along Stadium Way
and Division Ave to Tacoma General
Hospital

14. One “gathering” organized by outgoing Councilmember Julie Anderson
15. Would have used 0.2% sales tax
authority in City of Tacoma to fund
construction of light rail to Tacoma
Community College via 6th Avenue.
Threat of lawsuit from the City and
lack of Transportation Benefit District
made it impossible to move forward.
There’s a lot going on in this comic.
16. Exemplifies the high hopes for
expansion of the light rail system, and
expresses frustration at continued
inaction.

22. After the two losses to Pierce Transit

G1 – Pacific Highway

27. After all of this process, we’re now
talking about adding two new hybrid
corridors, both with a lot of questions
about them.
Instead of being transit party crashers
(at least in the eyes of the City
Council), Morgan and I are portrayed
as trying to keep the previous process
on track.
There are a lot of Easter eggs in this
comic.
