Tacoma rail project to get federal money

Federal funding came through for the Point Defiance Bypass project scheduled to bring commuter service to Lakewood (not to be confused with the "Lakewood" neighborhood near Smokey Point). To add a side note, the City of Lakewood refuses to pay for security at the new Lakewood Transit Center opened by Sound Transit, because the trains aren't there yet.

Sound Transit is taking it in stride and paying for the security themselves...
