If you’re itching to see some middle-aged folks in business attire pantomime manual laborers for one scoop, today is your day! Sound Transit will be breaking ground on University Link, the light rail extension to the UW. This line will get riders from the U-District to Capitol Hill in 3 minutes and to downtown in 9. The ceremony runs from 2-3 PM at Husky Stadium, for which many desire its own groundbreaking. One hour is a long time for a little shoveling, though, so it seems likely there’ll be a fair amount of speechifying. To satisfy the more visually inclined, we suggest ST get some ribbon and giant scissors, and also a giant check, just to round out the visual gimmicks. The agency could also use a mascot. We know Squatch is out of a job, though, personally, we’d see if we couldn’t get Youppi, even if only for the summers.
