Building Together: A heartfelt thank you to our RapidRide H Line community
Dear RapidRide H Line community,
As we approach the end of the year, this will be our final e-newsletter for the RapidRide H Line. We want to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude and deepest appreciation to each member of our community. It’s been a privilege to share updates from both the construction team and community since beginning of planning, to construction and service launch.
As we look forward to the coming year, we are excited about the continued collaboration and reaching new milestones with our community. Your support in the ongoing frequent and reliable RapidRide H Line service reinforces the sense of pride we feel in being part of such a dynamic and engaged community.
Although this may be our last e-newsletter for RapidRide H Line, you can still stay connected with us by…
- visiting on our webpage: kingcounty.gov/rapidride/h or,
- emailing us at rapidride@kingcounty.gov or,
- calling us at our construction hotline number 206-257-3079.
