More ways to connect at Pinehurst Station

A new Link station means more than a new place to catch a train. Pinehurst Station is creating new connections in North Seattle — whether you arrive by foot, bike, bus or mobility device. 

Opening Sept. 30, Pinehurst Station will have frequent 1 and 2 Line service with trains arriving every 4–5 minutes. And with new and improved connections around the station, there are more ways to get there and get moving once you arrive.

Walk, roll or bike to the station 

Pinehurst Station is located near NE 130th Street and 5th Avenue NE, making it a new connection point for people traveling through North Seattle. 

The City of Seattle is making improvements along NE 130th Street to help people walk, bike and take transit to the station. The project includes curb-protected bike lanes and new and upgraded bus stops, creating more connected ways to reach Pinehurst. 

Arriving by bike? Pinehurst has space for 28 bikes in racks, plus individual BikeLink lockers available on demand. That means you can pedal to the station, park your bike and continue your trip by Link. 

Keep in mind that there is no Sound Transit parking at Pinehurst Station, so plan to walk, bike, take the bus or use another connection to reach the station. 

Connect by bus 

Not everyone lives within walking distance of a Link station — and that's where bus connections come in. 

King County Metro launched Route 77 in August, providing regular east-west service connecting the Pinehurst area with the new station. Bus bays are located on the south side of NE 130th Street and 5th Avenue NE, with another bay along Roosevelt Way N near 5th Avenue NE. 

For riders using paratransit, a dedicated paratransit bay is located along the station plaza on 5th Avenue NE, north of NE 130th Street. 

Designed with accessibility in mind 

Pinehurst Station is elevated, with side platforms and multiple ways to move between the station entrance and trains. 

Each platform has two elevators — one at the north end and one at the south end — providing accessible connections between the platforms and the station plaza. A ramp also provides an additional accessible route through the station. 

A new connection for North Seattle 

Pinehurst Station was originally projected to open in 2031. Sound Transit advanced the project into final design in 2020 and approved additional budget and contract changes in 2022 to accelerate delivery. 

Now, five years ahead of the original schedule, Pinehurst is ready to connect North Seattle to frequent Link service. 

However you arrive — walking, rolling, biking, taking the bus or using paratransit — Pinehurst Station offers another way to connect with the region.
