Capitol Hill Station

The underground Capitol Hill Station will be built just east of Broadway Avenue and south of East John Street, beneath Nagle Place and adjoining properties.  This station will serve the densely populated neighborhood and the Broadway business district, as well as Seattle Community College, Group Health Medical Center and other nearby employers.  Locating the station east of Broadway and west of Cal Anderson Park reduces construction disruptions in the Broadway business district and the recently developed park. 

The Capitol Hill station includes three station entrances:  a north entrance on the east side of Broadway at the corner of East John Street, an entrance on the west side of Broadway just south of East Denny Way, and a south entrance at the corner of East Denny Way and Nagle Place.

These station entrances will be further studied in final design to enhance station access and circulation. 

Projected Ridership

2030 daily boardings:  14,000 at Capitol Hill Station.
