About this project
Sound Transit owns approximately two acres of land near the former University of Washington laundry site just west of the Mount Baker Station. The properties were used for construction staging during construction and for vehicle storage after the Mount Baker Station opened.
The City of Seattle and Sound Transit worked with community stakeholders to develop recommendations on how the collection of sites could support the community’s vision for the area. This engagement’s key themes are outlined in the Mount Baker Station Area Development Community Engagement Summary.
Following this engagement, the Seattle Office of Housing selected El Centro de la Raza and Mercy Housing Northwest to bring transit-oriented development to the City of Seattle site near the Link light rail station. The development will create affordable housing, childcare, and an early learning research facility.
Work is ongoing to determine a development strategy for the Sound Transit site.
