The Tukwila Station is a Sounder train station serving the city of Tukwila, Washington. It was built by Sound Transit along BNSF Railway tracks in Tukwila. The station is also served by Amtrak Cascades trains, and ST Express and Metro Transit buses.

On 3 November 2011, the US Department of Transportation announced a $7.9 million grant to Washington State for the construction of a new intermodal station to replace the temporary facility then in use at Tukwila.[2]
