Friday/ Capitol Hill train station : a long way to go

I walked by the Capitol Hill train station’s construction site. The tunnels to the station have been completed. Here is a Youtube clip of the tunnel breakthrough.  But there is still a long way to go to fill in all the construction that makes up the rest of the station !

The Capitol Hill light rail station is progressing, but a lot of work is still to be done. The WSDOT website says the tunnel from Capitol Hill to Washington University is complete (100%), but that this station is only 11% complete. But then it is scheduled for opening only in 2016.

The rain monster is part of new artwork on the walls around the Capitol Hill station’s construction site. There is not much rain this time of year in Seattle, though !

The gutters catch the rain water, and irrigates the little greeneries that have been arranged in an old storage palette.
