 University of Washington StationThe underground University of Washington Station, adjacent to Husky Stadium, will provide regional access to the University of Washington campus and UW Medical Center, nearby sports venues and surrounding neighborhoods. A grade-separated entrance north of the Burke-Gilman Trail will be provided for direct access to the upper campus and minimize conflicts between pedestrians and bicyclists. An entrance near Husky Stadium is also planned.
These entrances and a potential third west entrance on the "campus triangle" will be further studied in final design to enhance access as well as facilitate local bus connections near the station.
Sound Transit is also working with the University of Washington to minimize impacts to vital research activities, and coordinating with the Washington State Department of Transportation as the SR-520 Bridge Replacement Project moves forward.
Projected Ridership
