Let's Get Moving: Shoreline North / 185th Street Station opening celebration (banner)

Join us Friday, August 30 from 4 – 8 pm as the North City Neighborhood Association officially launches the Shoreline North / 185th Street Link Light Rail Station. Start your Labor Day weekend with a celebration right here in North City!

Walk, bike, or ride to the new station and grab a free Orca card to board the 1 Line. Food vendors, community partners, music, dance, and celebration will fill the space.

  • Dance Performances from Shorecrest and Shorewood Hip Hop teams, Mak Fai Lion Dance, and BOOTS! — a '60s Go-Go Dance Party. DJ Kurt Bloch and Emcee Troy Nelson from KEXP will keep the energy strong throughout the evening.
  • Lime will be on hand to offer scooter and bike demos and will be handing out free helmets.
  • Enjoy foods from local vendors such as La Liath Bakery, Mellow Yellow Thai, Nata Seattle, Geni's Ethiopian, Chick 'N Fix, El Mammamia, Taco Cortes, and Dippy's Ice Cream
  • Sound Transit will deploy a team of ambassadors to assist with Orca cards and answer questions about Link. Metro and Community Transit will also be ready to talk about transit integrations at our newest multi-modal hub.
  • A $1 book sale from Friends of Shoreline Library, and a special transit-themed exhibit from the Shoreline Historical Museum
  • A craft marketplace of clothing and jewelry, including High Vibe Designed & Burnout Boss, Salaheddine Serrhini, and Forever Beauty Jewelry
  • Learn from Commute Seattle about transit options, plus Shoreline Tool Library will be on hand to offer free bicycle inspections.
  • Hello There You event photography will provide a selfie booth and a roaming photographer to capture your memories and send them directly to your phone.

All 4 new stations (Shoreline South, Shoreline North, Mountlake Terrace, and Lynnwood) will be celebrating their grand openings, so hop on the train and check out the other new stations while you’re at it. This landmark event will only happen once – show up and make history in Shoreline!

Volunteers make this all possible! We will have plenty of low-impact shifts and opportunities to help out. All volunteers will receive a commemorative tee shirt and a $20 food voucher. Sign up here to be part of this unique event!

Let’s Get Moving is presented by the North City Neighborhood Association and sponsored by Sound Transit.
