A group of small business owners in West Seattle are still in what they call ‘light rail limbo.’The West Seattle Link Extension will run through businesses at 23rd Ave Southwest and Delridge Way Southwest, which would leave many of the buildings demolished. The cluster of business owners off Delridge Way say they haven't been offered help for an early move, despite offers to neighboring businesses during an early acquisition process.
"We talked about the displacement of these businesses and what the future holds for us and what we need to do and what we need from the city and what we need from sound transit in order to make our move," said Rubin. "I invited board members and the mayor, and invited anybody who wants to talk to us directly, about how we are affected and what our experience has been.
