Planning Around Stations

Sound Transit is building 13 light rail stations with service to West Seattle in 2032* and Ballard in 2037-2039*. The project includes two new water crossings and a brand-new transit tunnel through Downtown Seattle, making this the largest transit investment in our city's history.
