Edmonds station in Edmonds, Washington, is an Amtrak and Sound Transit passenger train station, with service extending to Oregon, British Columbia, and the American Midwest. A brick building with modernist elements, the station is adjacent to the Edmonds–Kingston ferry terminal and a Community Transit bus station, west of the downtown area. A single platform and a model railroad exhibit are south of the waiting area. The building was opened by the Great Northern Railway in 1957, replacing a 1910 depot. Great Northern merged into Burlington Northern (later BNSF Railway) in 1970, and service to the station ceased when Amtrak took over Burlington Northern's passenger trains in May 1971. Service returned in July 1972 on what are now Amtrak's Cascades and Empire Builder routes. Sound Transit began operating the Sounder North Line to Edmonds station, between Everett and Seattle, on December 21, 2003, and rebuilt the station and transit center in 2011.
