Sound Transit facilities will be named based on established criteria. Names will:
- Reflect the nature of the environment: neighborhoods, street names, landmarks, and geographic locations
- Be brief, easy to read, and easy to remember
- Comply with federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines and requirements and be limited to 30 characters
- Avoid commercial references because they may change, prove confusing to the public and be costly to change
- Avoid similar names or words in existing facility names
The Sound Transit Board of Directors will adopt permanent station names after public comment throughout final design. Station naming feedback captured during the 30 percent final design open house indicated that station names should help riders identify the location of the transit stop as well as fit the future Bel-Red neighborhood.
