After decades of careful storage by King County Metro, the Seattle’s historic waterfront streetcars are now owned by Friends of the Benson Trolleys. The sale took place last month and the cars are being stored in Anacortes, awaiting their next chapter.
We are thankful to the great care that the County took with these cars over the last 20 years. After completing the feasibility study in 2018, the cars were found to be in excellent operating condition and are primed for a third life in the years ahead.
