Sound Transit will be experiencing service disruptions throughout January and February due to construction work on the 130th Street Station and other system expansions. Trains will run less frequently, and some lines will be partially shut down.
Starting tomorrow, January 4, through February 27, trains will arrive every 12 minutes from 5:30 p.m. until the end of the service day instead of its usual eight to 10-minute intervals. This disruption is due to Sound Transit installing a roof on the upcoming 130th Street infill station. Train wait times are even longer for three specific weekends — January 4-5, January 25-26 and February 8-9. These wait times are expected to be approximately 15 minutes.
Later this month, the 1 Line is expected to shut down through Downtown Seattle in order for Sound Transit to complete the work needed to connect the forthcoming full 2 Line with the 1 Line near International District/Chinatown Station. For the weekend of January 10-12, trains will reach Westlake Station, but the following weekend, in addition to February 14-16 and February 21-23, trains will only reach the Capitol Hill station. Sound Transit crews are expected to repair a damaged overhead catenary system (OCS), the system that provides power to the Sound Transit trains, in the northbound light rail tunnel near the University of Washington (UW) station, meaning Sound Transit will have to disrupt its service over the weekend of February 1-2
