The Mission has always been a good neighbor to everyone, including Pierce Transit. It would be nice if Pierce Transit would agree to make themselves invisable and quiet. That is simply what The Mission is asking for. The Pierce Transit Board should take full responsibility to make themselves good neighbors. David, I fully support your position..

Doesn’t Sound Transit have a public relations person who advises them on these matters? Why does Sound Transit who, as you point out, has all the money and power, think they can sue the Rescue Mission and come through unscathed in public opinion? I am sure the costs of what the Rescue Mission is requiring is tiny compared to the budget they have for this rail expansion overall and may even be less than their attorney bills for fighting the Rescue Mission. I’m praying God changes their heart, and is glorified in the process. God save the Tacoma Rescue Mission.

The City of Tacoma, Pierce County, many foundations, corporations, and concerned individuals are stakeholders in the Mission’s downtown campus, having committed considerable financial resources to build and operate it. Sound Transit should respect the investment that our community has in this beautiful campus by mitigating the sound impact on staff and clients.
