Pinehurst Station opens on September 30, 2026, ahead of its originally planned 2031 completion date. The station will connect communities near NE 130th Street to Link light rail service with 1 and 2 Line trains arriving every 4-5 minutes.

King County Metro Transit launched Route 77 in August to provide east-west connections to the station, while Seattle’s Department of Transportation is adding curb-protected bike lanes and new bus stops on NE 130th St. The community celebration will include live music, local organizations, and giveaways from regional partners.
