Edmonds station is a train station serving the city of Edmonds, Washington, in the United States. The station is served by Amtrak's Cascades and Empire Builder routes, as well as Sound Transit's Sounder North Line, which runs between Everett and Seattle. It is located west of Downtown Edmonds adjacent to the city's ferry terminal and a Community Transit bus station. Edmonds station has a passenger waiting area, a single platform, and a model railroad exhibit. The station building was opened by the Great Northern Railway in 1957, replacing an older depot, and served freight and passenger traffic. It was transferred to Burlington Northern (later BNSF Railway) in 1970, but passenger service ceased when Amtrak took over Burlington Northern's passenger routes in May 1971. Amtrak began operating passenger service from Edmonds station in July 1972. Sound Transit began operating Sounder trains to Edmonds station on December 21, 2003, and later rebuilt the station and transit center in 2011 following the cancellations of plans to build a combined ferry–rail hub southwest of the city.
