Okay, fair enough. A BART-style system in Seattle is not impossible. I still feel like it is less than ideal.
Seattle is currently building a regional light rail system that is somewhat effective. I think that combining that with an electrified commuter rail system between Everett and Tacoma, maybe with a diesel extension to Olympia, makes the most sense for the region.
