Sound Transit Hosts Celebration of Edmonds Station Upgrades This Friday

Sound Transit will commemorate the completion of construction upgrades at Edmonds Station this Friday morning.

The event, which takes place at the station at 210 Railroad Avenue, will begin at 10:30 a.m. The celebration marks the end of a $12.9 million construction project. Enhancements include a new east platform, new weather-protected passenger shelters, and a transit center consisting of three bus bays and two passenger shelters. Commuters also benefit from a repaved parking area, upgraded lighting, and secure bike storage.

Edmonds Station is also now home to the sculpture "Standing Wave" by Northwest artist Gerard Tsutakawa. The 15-foot bronze sculpture symbolizes the movement of the waters of Puget Sound.

Speakers at Friday's celebration include Sound Transit Board Chair and Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon, Sound Transit Boardmember and Mayor of Mukilteo Joe Marine, Edmonds Mayor Mike Cooper, Federal Transit Administration Regional Administrator Rick Krochalis, and Washington State Senator Paull Shin.

Edmonds Station will continue to offer four Sounder and three Amtrak train roundtrips each day. Community Transit will start providing service to the new transit center later this summer.
