Union Station

Union Station served as Seattle’s passenger terminal for the Oregon - Washington Railroad and Navigation Company, Union Pacific Railroad, and Milwaukee Roads lines from 1911 until 1971. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on August 30, 1974, and is included in the City of Seattle’s International Special Review District and Pioneer Square Preservation District. Restored and adapted in 1999, it became the headquarters of Sound Transit—the Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority—and a hub for its regional system in cooperation with Union Station Associates, linking the past and future of public transportation for the Central Puget Sound community through a project made possible by the vision and tax dollars of citizens of King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties, who approved development of a new regional transit system in 1996.
