Tacoma Link

Description

Tacoma Link is a 1.6-mile line running between the Tacoma Dome Station and downtown Tacoma. It opened for service in August 2003, and serves the University of Washington’s Tacoma campus, the Washington State History Museum, the Tacoma Art Museum, the Museum of Glass, the Convention Center, downtown offices and the Broadway Theater District.

At the Tacoma Dome Station, the line connects to a major regional transportation hub that includes Sounder commuter train service and local and regional buses operated by Sound Transit and Pierce Transit, as well as intercity bus service operated by Greyhound. Tacoma Link’s five stations are served by modern 66-foot-long air-conditioned vehicles.

Tacoma Link rides are free of charge.
