reel icon Last week, we celebrated the 25th anniversary of Sound Transit owning Union Station (dedicated as the agency's headquarters on Oct. 16, 1999). Opened originally in 1911 to service Union Pacific and Milwaukee Road trains, the station closed its doors in 1971 and sat empty for nearly 30 years before being renovated for our headquarters. It seemed fitting that Union Station was brought back to life as a public transit provider and community hub, and that its Great Hall was later named for the woman who was Sound Transit’s CEO for 15 years before retiring in 2016. If you haven’t visited Union Station or the Joni Earl Great Hall recently, come in and check the informational display about the past, present, and future of this iconic space.
