The Edmonds Station is a passenger train station in Edmonds, Washington.

It is a station stop for Amtrak's Empire Builder and Cascades trains, as well as for Sound Transit's Sounder Commuter Rail on the north line.

The station, platform, and parking are owned by BNSF Railway.[2]

Currently, there are four southbound Sounder departures during morning rush hour, with four return trips in the afternoon.[3] Sound Transit formerly planned to relocate Edmonds station as part of the larger Edmonds Crossing Multi-modal project being led by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). That plan was shelved in favor of renovating the station in place, a project expected to cost $12.9 million and be completed in early 2011.[4][5] The Swamp Creek & Western Railroad Association (a model railroaders' group) operates from the Edmonds Amtrak Station.[6]

Of the eighteen Washington stations served by Amtrak, Edmonds was the eighth busiest in FY10, boarding or detraining an average of about 90 passengers daily.[7]
