Share your feedback on the visual design of the new garage

Sound Transit is improving access to Auburn Station for drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists, and bus riders, including building a parking garage as well as sidewalk, bicycle, and bus enhancements. Your feedback will help us determine the visual design of our new parking garage, which will be located north of the station at 1st Street NW and A Street NW. Should it stand out or blend in? Feel modern or classic?

We want to hear from you! Learn more and give us your input:

  • Visit the online open house through May 25 (available in English, Spanish, and Russian).
  • Attend the drop-in session: Tuesday, May 10, 3:00 to 6:15 p.m., Auburn Station, 23 A St SW, east platform.
  • Attend the virtual Q&A session: Monday, May 16, Noon to 1 p.m. (see link at http://auburnstation.participate.online/)
