Seattle Area's Sound Transit Link Light rail service to Angle Lake opens September 24, 2016, with a dedication ceremony at 9:30 a.m. and a City of SeaTac community celebration at 11 a.m.
The Angle Lake Station includes a 1,050-stall garage, 70-space surface lot, van pool parking and passenger drop-off/pickup area. Passengers boarding at Angle Lake can take a four-minute trip to the airport, a 41-minute trip to downtown’s Westlake Station and a 48-minute trip to the University of Washington Station at Husky Stadium.
“Saturday will be a day of celebration for the entire region as we continue to expand Link light rail. This station is the latest addition to a light rail network that is transforming commutes and communities,” said Sound Transit Board Chair and King County Executive Dow Constantine. “People love light rail, and the Angle Lake Station will be an amazing asset to get South county commuters out of gridlock.”
The dedication ceremony, which is being sponsored by Alaska Airlines, will include remarks by elected officials and project partners, a ribbon-cutting on the station platform and an inaugural train ride to Sea-Tac Airport. The City of SeaTac Community celebration will include entertainment, refreshments and other activities.
