U District Station (formerly known by the temporary working name Brooklyn Station[1]) will be an underground light rail station on the Northgate Link Extension of Sound Transit in the University District neighborhood in Seattle. It is scheduled to open along with the rest of the North Link project in 2021. Sound Transit estimates that there will be 12,000 daily boardings at the station in 2030.[2]

Location

The U District Station will be deep underground underneath Brooklyn Ave NE between NE 45th and NE 43rd Streets. It will have two entrances, one in the plaza at the base of the UW Tower at the southwest corner of 45th and Brooklyn, and the other at the northeast corner of 43rd and Brooklyn. It is one block west of The Ave, at the heart of the University District.[3]
