Seattle Children’s Museum Features Sound Transit Train Exhibit

The Seattle Children’s Museum recently opened an exhibit devoted to Sound Transit, which offers young visitors information about public transit and the excitement of riding—or operating—a train.

Sound Transit provided $9,600 for the exhibit, where children can step up to a large train table to drive a replica of the Sound Transit lines. Families can also stop for a photo opportunity showing themselves “inside” a Sound Transit train.

“This exhibit will help inspire the next generation to ride and, we hope, continue to expand Sound Transit’s light rail network,” said Sound Transit Board Chair and King County Executive Dow Constantine. “What kid doesn’t love a train? It’s today’s kids who will reap the greatest benefits from the congestion-free light rail system that Sound Transit is building today.”

Children play with Sound Transit's new hands-on train exhibit at the Seattle Children's Museum.
