During the planning stages of a westside light rail line, Hillsboro rezoned much of the area around the station to increase building densities.

[3] That train stop was near the current one and was on property owned by the Oregon Nursery Company and settled in part by Hungarians.

[14] Designed by the architectural group OTAK Inc., the station features a single island platform between the two tracks.

[19] One piece of art reflecting that theme at the stop is a weather vane designed by Michael Oppenheimer.

[20] The weather vane is titled “Cattail Tunes” and is based on the plant that grows in nearby wetlands.

[19] The inspiration for this artwork comes from an arrangement made by a Japanese macaque at the Oregon National Primate Research Center across the street from the station.

[15] Designers for the artwork at Quatama Station were Jerry Mayer, Valerie Otani, Bill Will, and Fernanda D'Agostino.

[23] Line 49s ("s" for shuttle) connected the station with areas to the north, including the former Oregon Graduate Institute.
