Sound Transit Board approves contract to construct Bus Base North
Sound Transit’s first agency-owned bus operations and maintenance facility will support electrified rapid bus service lines on I-405 and SR 522.May 22, 2025
The Sound Transit Board of Directors voted today to approve a contract with PCL Construction Services, Inc. to build Bus Base North, a critical milestone in the development of Sound Transit’s Stride Bus Rapid Transit network.
“Today’s Board action will move us one step closer to fast and frequent transit for riders on heavily congested corridors as we continue to expand multiple transit options across the Central Puget Sound,” said Snohomish County Executive and Sound Transit Board Chair Dave Somers. “Board members and the residents that they represent understand that advancing construction on Bus Base North is a key milestone for Stride and ST3.”
The 365,125 square foot facility will be constructed in the Canyon Park subarea of Bothell, near the intersection of SR 527 and I-405. It will accommodate up to 120 double-decker and articulated buses for Stride and ST Express services, providing storage, charging, and maintenance as well as administrative and operations support for Stride BRT service.
