Kent Des Moines station

Kent Des Moines station is a future station on Sound Transit's Federal Way Link Extension, part of the Link light rail system.

It is scheduled to open in 2026 as part of the extension of the 1 Line to Federal Way Transit Center.

Kent Des Moines station will be an elevated structure above 30th Avenue South, east of State Route 99 (Pacific Highway) near its intersection with State Route 516 (Kent-Des Moines Road).

[1][2] A shopping center to the south of the proposed station was considered for the line's operations and maintenance facility, but the Kent city government passed a zoning ordinance in January 2019 to prevent its use—in part because the shopping center includes a recently opened Dick's Drive-In.

[5] The extension's opening was delayed to 2026 due to construction issues on the section between Kent Des Moines and Star Lake stations; a potential early opening for Kent Des Moines was discussed at a Sound Transit meeting in 2023 due to the expected completion of the station in late 2024.
