Background

We are creating a Station Area Plan for the neighborhood surrounding the future Graham Street Station. The people in the Graham neighborhood represent many cultures and spoken languages. Many generations have lived in this area for decades and new residents continue to make it their home. It's a place where people work, play, learn, practice faith, and build community.

We are partnering with the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) and are working together to plan for the Graham neighborhood. This planning process builds on the community's Graham Street neighborhood vision and will be developed through further engagement with community-based organizations, businesses, residents, and visitors. Working collaboratively, we intend to better understand and explore strategies that may improve transportation access, support housing stability, and create welcoming public spaces that honor the cultural and intergenerational fabric of this neighborhood for generations to come.

The Graham Street Station Area Plan aims to reflect the priorities of people who live and work in the Graham neighborhood. We look forward to connecting with you!

Project Area

Graham Street Station Area Planning focuses on areas where we expect potential changes to the neighborhood due to opportunities for increased regional access from the construction of an additional light rail station.

Map showing the Graham Station Area, with a smaller shape showing the half-mile land use planning boundaries around the proposed Graham St Station, approximately at: S Holly St, S Orcas, Chief Sealth Trail, Rainier Ave S. The larger one-mile transportation planning boundaries are approximately at: Swift Ave S, Graham Hill elementary, S Orcas St, and S Holly St.

The smaller area is within a half-mile walk from Graham Street Station. Through this planning process, we will focus on how land use and public amenities can support community-identified priorities.

The larger area is within a one-mile walk to Graham Street Station. This represents the area where we think a majority of future light rail riders could choose to use the proposed Graham Street Station. Through this planning process, we will identify and prioritize transportation projects to improve neighborhood access for people walking, rolling, biking, and taking transit.

Please note that the project area boundary shows the general area we are planning for, and may change as the project progresses.
