I lived there for 12 years - Seattle has a "don't build it and that won't come" attitude, but they keep not building, and people keep coming.

That sounds about right. Moreover, even if Seattle wanted to build something (anything), it would play out like this: * 10 years of planning * 10 years of lawsuits * another 10 years of planning * 20 years of very slow building

The famed light rail is supposed to reach Issaquah (from Seattle) in 2041. That's if everything goes according to plan.

Even worse, it is 2035 to Ballard and West Seattle, which are much more central than Issaquah and still lack anything but bus.
