Sometime between Wednesday, May 20 and Wednesday, June 3, excluding weekends and Memorial Day, 2 or 3 parking stalls will be closed at Federal Way Station. Started Until Wed Jun 3
The closure of these parking stalls will only last one day within the work window, but the exact date is not yet known. Updates on the actual parking stall closure will follow.

This work is necessary because Sound transit bought this property, which used to be an Arco gas station, so BP has a remediation responsibility to find out if there is any contamination in the ground. Sound Transit is working with Arco to ensure we keep our environment safe and clean for future generations.
