Central Link is a light rail line serving Seattle, Washington, United States, and its surrounding suburbs. It is operated by Sound Transit as part of the Link light rail system and runs 20 miles (32 km) from the University of Washington campus to the city of SeaTac, passing through Downtown Seattle, the Rainier Valley, the city of Tukwila, and Seattle–Tacoma International Airport. Construction on the system began in 2003 after decades of shelved transit plans and trains began operating from Downtown Seattle to Tukwila in 2009. Since then, the line has been expanded three times; it currently carries over 70,000 daily passengers and is slated to be extended to the north, south, and east in the early 2020s.

Over the past three years, I have been slowly piecing together this topic to represent Seattle's budding "light metro" system. All currently opened stations are included; future stations opening in the next extension (three stations, 2021) have already attained GA status and can be added on opening day, while articles on under construction stations (to open in 2023) are in the middle of being improved to GA status. Note that University of Washington station is currently at FAC, and I plan to take Central Link to FAC before its ten-year anniversary in July 2019. --SounderBruce 07:58, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

- Wow, nice work! Even have a featured article in there! I first thought maybe List of Link light rail stations would be appropriate to include, however I can see that it's slightly outside the scope of this topic (though could eventually be merged into a topic called Link light rail stations with the addition of the Takoma stations).

- Thanks. I modeled this GTC after the Ring Line (Oslo) topic, putting the line as the lead article. I plan to take the list of stations to FLC within the next few months, but the Tacoma stations are unlikely to be improved to GA status, being little more than streetcar stops.
