Sound Transit is planning to relocate Edmonds station as part of the larger Edmonds Crossing Multi-modal project being led by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). The location of the preferred alternative for the multi-modal project in the Final EIS would relocate the station south of Edmonds marina, near Point Edwards. Construction of the US$237 million project is scheduled to begin summer 2012. ^[3] An interim US$12.9 million project to add a west platform, shelters, and new lighting to the current station is scheduled to begin in late 2007.^[4]
