Link Light Rail is a light rail system serving the Seattle metropolitan area and operated by Sound Transit. The network consists of 21 stations on two unconnected lines: fifteen on Central Link and six on Tacoma Link. Link stations are located within four cities in King and Pierce counties: eleven in Seattle, five in Tacoma, one in SeaTac and one in Tukwila.[1][2] The two lines had a combined average weekday ridership of 38,918 in 2015, placing it sixteenth among the busiest light rail system in the United States.[3][4] The busiest station by daily ridership is Westlake station in Seattle, while the least busiest is Convention Center/South 15th Street station in Tacoma.[5]

Link began service on August 23, 2003, with the opening of five stations on the 1.6-mile-long (2.6 km) Tacoma Link.[6] The initial, 14-mile-long (23 km) segment of Central Link with 12 stations was opened from Seattle to Tukwila on July 18, 2009, and was later extended 1.7 miles (2.7 km) to the Seattle–Tacoma International Airport on December 19, 2009.[7][8] The first infill station of the Link system, Commerce Street/South 11th Street station on Tacoma Link, opened on September 15, 2011.[9] Central Link was extended north 3.15 miles (5.07 km) to the University of Washington on March 19, 2016.[10]

As of 2016, Sound Transit is building three extensions of Central Link that will open between 2016 and 2023 with 14 stations:[11] the 1.6-mile-long (2.6 km) South 200th Link Extension to Angle Lake in SeaTac in 2016;[12] the 4.3-mile-long (6.9 km) Northgate Link Extension to Seattle's Northgate in 2021;[13] and the 14-mile-long (23 km) East Link Extension to Bellevue and Redmond on the Eastside in 2023.[14][15] Additionally, three extensions approved in the 2008 Sound Transit 2 ballot measure have yet to begin construction, but have funding, and are scheduled to open by 2023:[16] the 8.5-mile-long (13.7 km) Lynnwood Link Extension to Lynnwood in Snohomish County;[17] the first phase of the 7.6-mile-long (12.2 km) Federal Way Link Extension to Kent/Des Moines;[18] and a 2.4-mile-long (3.9 km) extension of Tacoma Link to the Hilltop neighborhood to open in 2022.[19][20] These extensions would add an additional 30 miles (48 km) to the light rail network, carrying an estimated 280,000 daily riders by 2030.[15][21] A planned ballot measure in 2016 would expand the light rail network by 58 miles (93 km) and 39 stations to a total of 108 miles (174 km) of track and 70 to 75 by 2041, carrying 500,000 daily passengers.[22][23]

All Central Link light rail stations are built with 400-foot-long (120 m), 14-inch-high (0.36 m) platforms, arranged in the center or sides of the two tracks, with capacity to handle a four-car train with 95-foot-long (29 m) vehicles;[citation needed] Tacoma Link stations are build with 90-foot-long (27 m), 8-inch-high (0.20 m) platforms that can accommodate a one-car train measuring 66 feet (20 m) in length.[24] The majority of stations are built at-grade on the surface, with the platform elevated slightly above street level; there are also elevated stations and underground stations that include mezzanines (with the exception of Mount Baker station) with access the platform from the surface as well as ticket vending machines.[citation needed] Only two current stations, Tacoma Dome Station and Tukwila International Boulevard, have public park and rides; several under construction and planned stations feature park and rides with garages and surface lots.[citation needed]

All stations include works of public art as part of the "STart" program, which requires one percent of station construction funds go to art installations.[25] The stations are named in accordance to facility naming guidelines that include using surrounding neighborhoods and street names, avoiding words used by existing facility names, and being limited to 30 characters in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.[26] Stations are also required by state law to be identified by simple pictograms,[27][28] known as "Stellar Connections", that are used in station signage, maps and other printed materials as a wayfinding aid; the icons are composed of points that correspond with local landmarks near Link stations, while also forming a picture that represents the station's identity.[29][30]
