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.
Getting there is easy with Link
No need to stress about parking — just take Link light rail to Mount Baker Station. From downtown Seattle, it’s a smooth 15-minute ride south on the 1 Line. When you step off the train, you’re already at the event. (Seriously — Artstation takes place right at the station.)
If you’re biking, Mount Baker Station has plenty of lockers and bike racks, as well as connections to the I-90 Trail and neighborhood greenways. Multiple King County Metro routes also serve the area if you're coming from a little farther out.
Whether you're shopping for unique art, catching a local band, or just soaking in some summer sun, Artstation is a great way to spend a Saturday — and Link light rail gets you there car-free.
