Overview
During its 2006 session, the Washington State Legislature directed that this station will be a new stop on the Amtrak Cascades corridor.
In May 2006, WSDOT shared its proposed plan (pdf 2.4 MB) for Stanwood Station with the community. WSDOT and the city of Stanwood decided to work together to develop more detailed plans for the site and some of the station features.
Why is WSDOT
constructing a new train station platform at Stanwood?
The Washington State Legislature provided WSDOT with $5.0 million to construct a new train station platform in the city of Stanwood. The station platform will provide a place where the traveling public can get on and off Amtrak Cascades passenger trains.
The End Result
The new station platform will enable safe and easy boarding and de-boarding of rail passengers at Stanwood.
