Alternatives overview

Which routes, stations, and OMF North locations are being studied in environmental review?

This website shares information about the route, station, and Operations and Maintenance Facility (OMF) North alternatives being studied during environmental review. All alternatives shown on this site are being studied in the Draft EIS and design will continue to advance. When Sound Transit starts preparation of a Final EIS, a preferred alternative will be identified for all project components. Sound Transit will select the final locations for the route, stations, and OMF North after completing the environmental review process under both the Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and the federal National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), expected to happen in early 2028.
