Seattle light rail train network?

It's legally possible. Little noticed in the transportation bill passed by the Legislature last session (ESHB 2871) was a section that allowed local "transportation benefit districts" to be created after December 1, 2007. The city of Seattle (perhaps including some other pro-transit areas in King County but cutting out the areas that voted against Sound Transit) could form a special taxing district and contract with an agency like Metro or Sound Transit to build a city-wide light rail system (perhaps with routes similar to the old streetcar system). This could be a very desirable system for building out our mass transit system given the slow pace of Sound Tranist expansion and the ludicrous 40-20-40 rule that gives Seattle only 20% of new bus service in King County.
