Stadium Station

Highlights

In January 2005, the Sound Transit Board of Directors approved building the Stadium Station near Safeco Field and Qwest Field in the north SODO neighborhood. This station, formerly known as the Royal Brougham Station, was deferred on the original initial segment route. However, because bids on several major Link construction and systems contracts came in less than originally budgeted, the Stadium Station was completed without increasing the project budget. The now-completed station, along with the other Link initial segment stations, will increase transit use by baseball, football, and soccer fans and those visiting the Qwest Field Event Center.

• Street-level center platform station located 130 feet south of Royal Brougham Way, adjacent to the transit busway and King County Metro bus base.
• Patrons access from the north via the south sidewalk on Royal Brougham.
• The station platform has been sized to handle event crowds.
• A new bicycle/pedestrian path has been built alongside the light rail route that connects with the Mountains to Sound Greenway Trail.

Anticipated Travel Times

To Westlake Station - Eight minutes
To Columbia City Station - Nine minutes
To Tukwila International Blvd. Station - 26 minutes

Projected Ridership

Between 170,000 and 250,000 annual boardings in 2020 (depends on the number and size of events at the stadiums and exhibition center).
