[ID: 2 images of Google Maps style city maps. The first centers on the city of Seattle, with London's tube system lines overlaid on it. The lines stretch north to south from Shoreline to White Center, and east to west from Carnation to the northern Hood Canal. The lines create a complex web that's most dense in central Seattle, Lake Washington, and the Puget Sound. Red text at the top of the map says, "London Tube Map".

The second image centers on the city of London, with Seattle's light rail system lines overlaid on it. There is one main line that runs through the center of the city, north to south from Chestnut to Caterham. A second line connects from Romford in the east. End ID]

here is London’s tube map overlaid on Seattle (top) and Seattle’s light rail network overlaid on London (bottom)

#this is funny because the east line in seattle doesn't actually run yet. it's set to open later this year #and the north 3 stops are still under construction. they're arguing about whether to open north or east additions first #anyway as someone else said in the notes these systems are hard to compare because seattle's is so baby #it was still under construction when i was in high school #but still a really good reminder of what we can achieve if we keep funding the project! i would pay a lot of taxes for light rail to #ballard or west seattle #image described
