King Street Station Restoration

About King Street Station

King Street Station first opened to the public in May 1906. Reed and Stem, the architectural firm responsible for New York City’s historic Grand Central Terminal, designed the station. The San Marco bell tower of Venice, Italy, served as the model for the building’s familiar clock tower. The structure was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

The station is served by Amtrak long distance rail, Sound Transit commuter rail, and Amtrak intercity buses. In addition, it offers convenient access to local and regional buses and, in the future, link light rail and the Seattle Streetcar.

The restoration of King Street Station will ensure it remains a critical transportation hub and gateway into Seattle for the next hundred years.
