South Federal Way

The South Federal Way Segment extends from South 344th St through Federal Way, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians Reservation, Milton, and unincorporated Pierce County to the City of Fife boundary near Wapato Way East.

The following station area information focuses on the South Federal Way . Sound Transit continues to study multiple alternatives in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

South Federal Way Station design

The Preferred South Federal Way Station would be east of SR 99 between South 352nd St and South 356th St. Sound Transit and the City of Federal Way are collaborating to design a station that will support the needs of the Federal Way community. Our station plans propose several improvements to the area directly within and around the station including:

Sidewalks and bike lanes to ensure people of all ages and abilities can walk, bike, or roll within the station area.
Parking, including a surface parking lot and additional street parking on some streets within the station area.
Landscaping and trees lining all streets adjacent to the station, providing shade and separation from vehicles for people walking, biking, and rolling.
