Sound Transit reports below on the status and outlook for NE 130th and NE 148th stations.
by on January 12, 2021
Summary
- The Shoreline South/148th Link light rail station is planned to open in 2024. The NE 130th St Station is scheduled to open in 2031, however in February 2020 the Sound Transit Board approved advancing final design and may consider opening the station sooner.
- In our NE 130th St & Shoreline South/148th Stations Multimodal Access Study, we created a roadmap for future improvements to make it easier to walk, roll, bike or take transit to these stations.
- We want to make it safe, and convenient for people of all ages and abilities to walk, roll, bike, and take transit to the future light rail stations.
- Together, the 18 proposed projects create a complete network to support multimodal access to the future stations, as well as the proposed SR 522 Bus Rapid Transit Stations along NE 145th St.
- As part of this study, we also identified potential funding sources for each of the projects. This is a helpful guide for future investments!
- We will coordinate project concepts from this study with other city departments and partner agencies in the study area.

To build fully-connected, multimodal transportation systems, regional transportation teams rise to the challenge. We work collaboratively to build a transportation ecosystem that ensures all the assets in our region – Link light rail stations, sidewalks, bus routes, and more – fit together to keep you connected. Transportation investments require significant coordination and partnership between different agencies to make a complete and seamless system that gets people around the region.
