Sound Transit’s newest Seattle station will connect communities near Northeast 130th Street to high-capacity rail rapid transit service, with 1 and 2 Line trains arriving every 4-5 minutes.
Pinehurst Station is central to travel options in north Seattle, where King County Metro recently launched the new Route 77 – an east-west connection community members asked for between Bitter Lake, Greenwood, Aurora Avenue and Lake City Way, which then turns south to Roosevelt, the U District, and University of Washington campus. Riders transferring between Route 77 and Link can use bus stops right across the street on Roosevelt/Northeast 130th Street and Fifth Avenue Northeast.
Conveniently, Route 77 also is through-routed with Route 75, giving a connection to Children’s Hospital and Magnuson Park.
The City of Seattle invested in new sidewalks and protected bike lanes to help riders and neighbors better reach the new station. Routes 77 and 75 are frequent routes with funding provided by the Seattle Transit Measure
The timing for opening this station is great as classes also begin Sept. 30 for UW students, staff and faculty. Metro and Sound Transit updated the bus and train network Aug. 29 and we encourage riders to consider their college campus connections and new travel options.
See you on board!
