Overview
The Federal Way Downtown Station will offer integrated bus and rail service to serve the surrounding area.

Also, a new street grid will improve access to the station, providing opportunities for future development.
By design, the station will support easy transfers between Link, King County Metro, and Pierce Transit buses via the newly opened bus loop adjacent to the future station.
