    Literally that was my thought too, that they were all probably at a meetup and one person said “so those trains are a bit loud huh” and everyone just piled on, and some Karen decided that they need to send a letter.

    Maybe I’m just a poor to them, but my home is literally in a flight path, I do hear planes roaring overhead regularly. Sometimes it gets a bit annoying, I’m not right under the runway or anything but sure I can hear it inside. I have never thought that I should go an send a letter to everyone. It’s one of those things, why does my tiny bit of land have say over the needs of millions of people? It’s just so arrogant in my eyes to assume that a bit of annoyance justifies everyone else in the region adjusting.

      Has it been at least rumored why Sound Transit won’t put the same solution they used for the loud trains in Tukwila in here for Bellevue?

          I’d be willing to bet Sound Transit has been working on a solution and the Bellevue residents are being impatient and a bit whiny. It seems hard to believe that ST would ignore legitimate complaints considering they’ve repaired similar issues before.
