On March 13, Sound Transit staff recommended the East Marginal Way location for the Boeing Access Road infill station rather than the originally planned location between I-5 and Sounder tracks next to the South Boeing Access Road overpass. Sound Transit held an open house in late February and reviewed both possible locations with the community.
The Boeing Access Road station was included in the 1996 Sound Move Plan but was not authorized by voters until ST3 passed in 2016. ST3 promised the station with 300 parking stalls, which is about half of the parking at Tukwila International Boulevard Station. Besides the platform and parking lot, the station will include two bus bays, a “kiss & ride” drop-off zone, as well as space for other drop off services such as Metro Flex or private employer shuttles. The targeted opening date is in 2031.
