Federal Way Link Extension – Opening Day is Coming on December 6

Sound Transit’s 1 Line extension to South King County will open on December 6, 2025. This momentous day bookends the years-long effort to design and build a 7.8 mile long transit corridor of aerial and at-grade light rail and three new station areas. The effort has included mass restoration work, re-stitching and revegetating 73 acres of Puget Sound Lowland Forest, ensuring vegetated buffer for adjacent neighbors, and paying close attention to station area neighborhoods and their urban realm. Swift Company’s scope has been the design and documentation of corridor restoration, and the site design of three new station areas – community hubs that will stitch together transit-oriented development with generous public open spaces designed to provide new places for people and bolster the urban forest.
