Sounder's south line is aligned to the east because that's where the rail is. Rail is there because is follows river valleys.

Older towns are strengthening with Sounder's help, but the system is largely about park-n-rides.

Link is also being built south, currently to Federal Way Transit Center. This doesn't have major current nodes, but it will have future ones, at least of the six-story variety. FW has aspirations of highrises but they're harder to pencil here. The same is true with another extension underway to Lynnwood in the north.
