Lakewood Station

Sound Transit is moving forward with plans to expand Sounder service to South Tacoma and Lakewood. A new commuter rail station in Lakewood is being built to serve Pierce County riders traveling to Seattle.

Lakewood Station will include a side platform for passengers, as well as shelters and kiosks to purchase tickets. A new parking garage near the station will provide more than 600 parking spaces for commuters. The station will also serve as a bus transit facility for regional and local bus service.

Sound Transit has coordinated the station project with the City of Lakewood's street improvements along Pacific Highway Southwest near the station.
