About this project 

Sound Transit is partnering with the City of Federal Way to produce transit-oriented development on approximately six acres of land next to the future Federal Way Downtown Link light rail station. The under-construction station is one of three new stations for the Federal Way Link Extension. The area around the Federal Way Downtown Station is part of the City of Federal Way’s plans for their City Center. Together, Sound Transit and the City of Federal Way look forward to fulfilling the City’s vision for a compact, mixed use, mixed income, and walkable urban center.

The approximately six acres of land near the Federal Way Downtown Station site is currently being used for equipment storage and staging during construction of the Federal Way Downtown Station. When the station is complete, the property will be available for transit-oriented development.
