Lakewood StationDescription
Sound Transit is expanding Sounder commuter rail service to South Tacoma and Lakewood. A new commuter rail station in South Tacoma will serve Pierce County commuters. In 2012, when Sounder begins serving Lakewood Station, 10 trains will arrive and depart from the station each day.
Lakewood Station includes a side platform for passengers, as well as shelters and ticket kiosks. A new parking garage near the station provides more than 600 parking spaces for commuters. On Sept. 21, 2008, the station began to serve as a bus transit facility for regional and local bus service. Sounder commuter rail service to Lakewood Station will begin in 2012 after Sound Transit completes track and signal work between Tacoma and Lakewood.
