All the lines connect with Sound Transit Link, which runs underground through Downtown Seattle.

The Seattle Streetcar system is owned by the City of Seattle. There are two expansion projects currently underway. The first is the Center City Connector, which will link the South Lake Union and First Hill Streetcar lines, and connect over a dozen neighborhoods in Seattle's Center City, and will serve the city's inter-modal hub areas at Westlake, Colman Dock, and King Street Station.

The Broadway extension is a 1/2 mile extension of the line from Broadway/Denny to Broadway/Roy with an intermediate station at Harrison. This project is currently on hold.
