Fife

The Fife Segment is within the reservation and trust lands of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians and the City of Fife. The segment extends from the eastern city limit near Wapato Way East to the western city limit near the Puyallup River.

The following station area information focuses on the Fife Preferred Alternative . Sound Transit continues to study multiple alternatives for the Final EIS.

Fife Station design

The Preferred Fife Station would be west of 59th Ave East between 15th St East and 12th St East. Sound Transit and the City of Fife are collaborating to design a station that will support the Fife community, neighboring communities like Milton, and the Fife City Center plans. Our station plans propose several changes to the area directly within and around the station including:

  • Sidewalks, shared-use paths , and bike lanes to ensure people of all ages and abilities can walk, bike, or roll within the station area.
  • Bus stops and parking, including either a parking structure or surface parking lot and additional street parking west of the station.
  • Landscaping and trees lining all streets adjacent to the station to provide shade and separation between different travel modes.

Explore the early concepts for the Preferred Fife Station

A quarter-mile radius is labeled, indicating a 5-minute walking distance to and from the station, as well as a half mile radius indicating a 10-minute walking distance. The station and new streets to support it are located between 54th Avenue East, 59th Avenue East,12th Street East, and 15th Street East. Existing and planned pedestrian and bike facilities are shown surrounding the station area.

A north entrance to the station is shown on the new 13th Court East near four active bus bays, one paratransit bay, 10 standard pickup and drop-off spaces, and two accessible pickup and drop-off spaces. A second entrance is shown on the south side of the station. A nearby parking lot and a potential future parking structure are shown. Highlighted routes show key pedestrian and bicycle connections through the station area and on 54th Avenue East, 59th Avenue East, and 12th Street East. The station is projected to serve 2,080 daily riders by 2042.

Station access planning

Sound Transit, the City of Fife, and the City of Milton are identifying improvements that will make it easier to travel to the Preferred Fife Station while walking, biking, rolling, or taking transit. The potential projects below are informed by the City of Fife’s City Center plan and previous feedback from the cities and the public. Please note that funding is limited, meaning there may not be the resources to build all potential station access projects below.

As you review these potential projects, consider whether they would make it easier to get to the station. Your feedback will help inform which projects are built and how they’re designed.
