[7][8] It includes 32 solar panels on its facade and was built with recycled materials; the garage also has glass art created by local high school students under the direction of artist Jerry Newcomb.

[11] The median flyer stop was first proposed in a 1996 report by Sound Transit and WSDOT; it would serve buses and could be converted into a light rail station.

[12] Both facilities were constructed with eventual use by Link light rail in mind;[13] an extension into Snohomish County on either Interstate 5 or State Route 99 was approved by voters in the 2008 Sound Transit 2 funding package.

[21] Beginning in 2018, the former site of the Evergreen Elementary School just south of the station was redeveloped into a three-building complex with 600 apartments and retail spaces.

The transit center's bus bays are located adjacent to the parking garage, on 236th Street Southwest, and in the median of Interstate 5.
