Seattle Washington USA - Tuesday's national election results were a prime example of how, sometimes, it's not as important how many votes you get but how you get them.
 
But the hugely important decision faced by Puget Sound voters on the future of the region's transportation system ended up a celebration of the popular vote.
 
The campaign to deliver a combined "YES" on Sound Transit 3 vote across King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties celebrated its victory Thursday.
 
The ST3 Plan would include:
 
Increase Sounder south commuter rail capacity by extending platforms and serving trains up to 10 cars in length, carrying approximately 40 percent more passengers.
 
Add two new Sounder south commuter rail stops to serve Joint Base Fort Lewis-McChord and DuPont, both with parking.
 
Add pedestrian and bike path improvements to easily connect residents to Sounder stations.
