Emergency drills at new Husky Stadium Sound Transit station
Sound Transit will host a series of emergency drills with Seattle first responders Monday through Thursday at the new University of Washington and Capitol Hill light rail stations. These drills are part of the commissioning process for the new University Link light rail line from downtown Seattle to UW that opens early next year. The drills offer local fire, police and aid crews a chance to familiarize themselves with the stations and emergency protocols. While the drills will take place entirely inside the stations and tunnels, neighbors can expect to see a large number of fire, police and medical vehicles in the vicinity of the station on Capitol Hill at Broadway and John and at UW just outside Husky Stadium.
