Northgate station is a light rail and bus station in the Northgate neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, United States. It is served by the 1 Line and 2 Line on Sound Transit's Link light rail system. The bus station, located adjacent to the Northgate Mall (now named Northgate Station), has four bays served by King County Metro routes. Northgate station also has parking for 1,475 vehicles.
The transit center opened in June 1992 as a major hub for North Seattle buses and was prioritized as a light rail terminus during planning later in the decade. Construction on the light rail extension to Northgate began in 2012 and station construction began in 2017. The extension of the 1 Line, including Northgate station and a pedestrian bridge over Interstate 5, opened on October 2, 2021. Northgate remained the northern terminus of 1 Line until the Lynnwood Link extension opened in August 2024. It was once proposed as a bus rapid transit terminal and is an area with potential for additional transit-oriented development.
