摘要：	The Sound Transit Operations and Maintenance Facility East (OMF East) is unique in many ways, but one really stands out. Yes, it will be a state-of-the-art facility that will transform Sound Transit, the city of Bellevue, Wash., and several significant stakeholders. That's the future. But it's already done something quite unusual even in today's NIM-BY*-plagued world. It somehow managed to completely unite and galvanize a powerful and disparate opposition against the project almost instantly. "A [Bellevue] city council member who later became a county council member said, 'I have to note that this project received an absolute unanimous rejection vote from the Bellevue City Council the first time it came up. In fact, it brought the council together in opposition, which I didn't think was possible,'" explained Sound Transit New Facilities Project Director Jon Mihkels. "Later, she also spoke at the groundbreaking/ribbon cutting for the facility, except this time she said that the project had done 'a complete 180-degree turn and the entire city council was in full support of it now.' That never happens. So, you know this project is different."
