Spring District station is a Link light rail station in Bellevue, Washington, United States. It is a retained cut station on the 2 Line and serves the Spring District neighborhood, a transit-oriented development in Bellevue. It opened on April 27, 2024 as part of the 2 Line's initial segment.[1][2]
Location
[edit]Spring District station is located between 120th and 124th avenues in the Spring District neighborhood of Bellevue.[3]
History
[edit]The station was originally named Spring District/120th in June 2015.[4] The name was shortened to Spring District station in October 2023 following a request from the Bellevue city government.[5] The 2 Line opened on April 27, 2024; as part of the opening festivities, the station hosted food trucks and live music sponsored primarily by Meta and Spring District developer Wright Runstad.[6]
Design
[edit]The station, designed by LMN Architects, was built in a trench that places the platforms under street level.[7] To the west of the station, a wye junction enables access to an operations and maintenance facility for Link trains.[8]
