A number of West Seattle business owners are reacting to a light rail plan that's slated to wipe out their businesses sometime within the next four years.An open house with Sound Transit this week drove the message home, with some owners seeing maps and plans for the first time. Although owners have been anticipating that this would happen, they say there is a lot of uncertainty about what's next."We have 30 taps, all locally brewed beer, wine and cider.

"It looks like the relocation package that we would actually be offered by Sound Transit is fairly minimal. So, 50 grand, we get from sound transit, and it costs a million to relocate the business. You can kind of do the math there and that’s a lot of money that we don’t have," said Trujillo.
