Garage repairs update and alternatives
Sound Transit closed the fifth and sixth floors of the Auburn garage when inspections showed the need for concrete deck repairs on the upper floor. We are currently repairing the issues and expect to open more stalls for passengers in March.
At that time, the sixth floor will be open for passengerthe fifth floor will be temporarily dedicated to the City of Auburn employees. Sound Transit is displacing City employee parking at 1st St. NW and A St. NW, where new Sound Transit garage will be built. Construction is expected to start this year, so City employee parking will be in the existing garage for the duration of construction. The new garage is expected to open in early 2027.
In the meantime, other options for getting to a Sounder Station include:
-
Park at Kent Station: There are 996 parking spaces at Kent Station (301 Railroad Ave N). In recent weeks, only about half are typically in use.
-
Take transit to Auburn Station:
-
Bike to the station: There are 32 BikeLink lockers available at Auburn Station for $0.05 per hour.
-
Travel on Mondays or Fridays: Demand for parking spaces is typically highest mid-week. Consider switching your travel days to Mondays or Fridays when parking is typically available.
