Edmonds StationDescription
Sound Transit currently operates Sounder commuter rail service in Edmonds from a temporary platform adjacent to the Amtrak station. This site has been selected for the permanent Edmonds Station and planning has been underway to design the future station at this location.
The project includes a new east platform with larger passenger loading area and weather protected passenger shelter. The parking area will be updated, improved lighting will cover the platforms and parking, secure bike storage will be available and public art is ready for installation. The project will also construct a transit center at the north end of the station to accommodate Community Transit bus service with two passenger shelters and three bus bays.
Once a second mainline has been added by the railway in the future, a new west platform will be constructed and the north portion of the east platform will be completed.
The current site was recommended by the City of Edmonds and approved by the Sound Transit Board in summer 2009.
