 Sounder Commuter Rail Tukwila Station
Project Description
Sound Transit is moving forward with plans to replace the existing temporary Sounder station in Tukwila with a permanent commuter rail station. The future station will include passenger platforms and shelters, security and safety features, accessible station access, approximately 350 parking spaces, bike storage, landscaping and public art.
Sound Transit has been working on station planning in partnership with the Cities of Tukwila and Renton and their long range plans for redevelopment, transportation and traffic planning in the area.
