Spring District station is a Link light rail station in Bellevue, Washington, United States. It is a retained cut station on the 2 Line and serves the Spring District neighborhood, a transit-oriented development in Bellevue. It opened on April 27, 2024 as part of the 2 Line's initial segment.

Location

Spring District station is located between 120th and 124th avenues in the Spring District neighborhood of Bellevue.

History

The station was originally named Spring District/120th in June 2015. The name was shortened to Spring District station in October 2023 following a request from the Bellevue city government. The 2 Line opened on April 27, 2024; as part of the opening festivities, the station hosted food trucks and live music sponsored primarily by Meta and Spring District developer Wright Runstad.

Design

The station, designed by LMN Architects, was built in a trench that places the platforms under street level. To the west of the station, a wye junction enables access to an operations and maintenance facility for Link trains.
