Affected stops:
Stop #53504 Kent-Des Moines Freeway Station (Southbound)

Get on/off for stop at Kent Des Moines Rd/SR-516:

ADA parking will still be available within the garage on levels 2 through 5. On levels 2-4, there are five ADA parking stalls on each level, and three ADA parking stalls on level 5.

An additional 20 ADA parking stalls, including four van-accessible stalls, are in the new surface lot at the south end of the bus loop near the corner of S 320th St and 22nd Ave S. Drivers can access this lot from 22nd Ave S between S 319th St and S 320th St. This lot also contains ADA paratransit and general pick-up/drop-off locations.

For more information about ongoing construction at this station and the future Kent/Des Moines and Star Lake stations that will be served when the 1 Line extends to Federal Way (scheduled in 2026), visit the Federal Way Link Extension project web page and subscribe to project updates.

Beginning January 8, 2025, through 2026, construction will take place at SeaTac Airport Station to add a new elevator to the pedestrian bridge. The new elevator will provide an additional option for passengers to travel from the pedestrian bridge to the pickup/drop off parking lot adjacent to the station. During construction, passengers can expect pedestrian walkways to occasionally be blocked or narrowed, and access to the current elevator periodically interrupted.

During times where pedestrian walkways are blocked and elevator access is unavailable, passengers may catch the Rapid Ride A Line bus from SeaTac Airport Station to Tukwila International Boulevard Station in order to use the 1 Line.

The pedestrian bridge from the station to the airport will be unaffected and available throughout the duration of this project.

Beginning February 10, 2025 half of the passenger pick up/drop off area will be closed, as will some parts of the plaza near the stairs and existing elevator as equipment begins to come in for construction of the new elevator.

Additional information about changes in elevator accessibility will be provided as it comes available.
