Hop off at Mount Baker Station for art, music, and community vibes

Publish Date

Looking for something creative to do on a Saturday afternoon? Hop on the 1 Line and ride to Mount Baker Station for Artstation, a vibrant community market bringing together local makers, musicians, and artists — right outside the station.

Held every third Saturday of the month from noon to 5 p.m., Artstation transforms the plaza next to Mount Baker Station into a lively hub of creativity. You’ll find everything from handmade jewelry and crafts to live performances and pop-up installations — plus plenty of chances to connect with artists from the neighborhood.

The event is organized by residents of the nearby Mt. Baker Artspace Lofts, a community of working artists, and is sponsored by Sound Transit. It’s all about celebrating local talent and making art accessible for everyone.
