The Issue

Did you know that Light Rail is coming to West Seattle and as a result, over 60 local businesses face displacement?

We embrace the future light rail and the enhanced accessibility it promises for our community. Our goal is to thrive alongside this progress, not be sacrificed for it.

As West Seattle businesses facing potential displacement, we urgently seek your support. Help us convey the vital role our services and amenities play to the Sound Transit Board members who will decide our fate.

This summer, the ST Board will vote on a final route design that could uproot us. While Sound Transit offers some financial assistance, for many it falls far short of covering the true costs of relocation for most businesses. Without adequate funding, many of us could be forced to shut our doors permanently.

We're not opposing progress—we're fighting for our survival and the vibrant community we've helped build. Please sign our petition to show your support and send a unified message: West Seattle's local businesses are essential to the neighborhood's character and economy. Help us secure the resources we need to relocate successfully and continue serving our community alongside the new light rail.

Our collective voices can make the difference between some businesses survival and closure. Stand with us to ensure West Seattle retains its unique local flavor as we welcome this transportation advancement.
