South Tacoma 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 South Tacoma Station, 10 trains will arrive and depart from the station each day.
The station consists of a long platform adjacent to the tracks, with five shelters to provide cover for commuters as well as ticket kiosks. A parking lot across the tracks holds approximately 220 vehicles.
In 2009, South Tacoma Station opened for commuter parking, and ST Express bus route 593 began service to Tacoma Dome Station and downtown Seattle. Sounder commuter rail service to South Tacoma Station will begin in fall 2012 after Sound Transit completes track and signal work between Tacoma and Lakewood.
