Overview

The Federal Way Transit Center was one of many transit park-and-ride nodes operated by Sound Transit. This station was intended to become a station along a light rail line extending south from Angle Lake Station by 2023, but financing for this leg was hindered by the 2008 Recession. In 2019, further progress was made in getting federal funding to build the 7.8-mile line by a projected date of 2024. Total cost of the Angle Lake to Federal Way rail service link was set in 2019 at $3.16 billion, including the purchase price of 20 new trains.

Building Notes

In 2019, this park and ride location had 1,190 parking spaces, bicycle lockers, a ticket vending machine, a customer information and security office and restrooms. A planned Sound Transit light rail link extending from the Angle Lake Station south through the Kent/Des Moines Station and terminating at the Federal Way Transit Center obtained financing for engineering planning on 04/10/2019. This step enabled Sound Transit to apply for $790 million in federal funding to complete the line. This $790 million would be about one-quarter of the line's total cost. It was anticipated that this line could be finished by 2024.
