A new stop for the Link light rail opens this month.
According to Sound Transit, the Pinehurst Station in Seattle will open on September 30.
Trains will run every 4–15 minutes, from 5 a.m. to midnight.
The newest Seattle station will connect communities near NE 130th Street to high-capacity rail rapid transit service.
“The Pinehurst Station is more than a new stop on the map. It fills a critical gap in our light rail network and gives more people a fast, reliable connection to jobs, education, neighborhoods and destinations across the region,” said Snohomish County Executive and Sound Transit Board Chair Dave Somers. “People have been asking for a station here for a long time, and now they can finally access their neighborhood Link station and head anywhere from Seattle to Snohomish County and beyond. That’s what good public investment is all about, making it easier for people to get where they need to go and giving communities more choices. I’m really proud to see Pinehurst Station open its doors.”
The station was approved in the 2016 ST3 ballot measure and is the first infill station in agency history.
It was originally projected to open in 2031, but the Sound Transit Board advanced this station into final design in February 2020.
The board approved additional budget and contract changes for the accelerated delivery in 2022.
These decisions resulted in early construction beginning before the opening of Lynnwood Link.
