| Rendering of Stride’s 15th Ave NE Station along NE 145th in Shoreline/Seattle |
Shoreline/Seattle Designs include three station locations from I-5 to Bothell Way
- Shoreline South/148th Station.
- 15th Ave NE Station (NE 145th St and 15th Ave NE).
- 30th Ave NE Station (NE 145th St and 30th Ave NE).
The work will include:
- Improving roadway, driveway, and sidewalk/planting strips.
- Widening the roadway for bus lanes and new sidewalks westbound between 8th Ave NE and 6th Ave NE, in both directions between approximately 12th Ave NE and 17th Ave NE, and widening the intersection at NE 145th St and Bothell Way NE.
- Upgrading and relocating utilities.
- Creating stormwater management systems.
- Adding retaining walls along the north and south sides for sections of NE 145th St.

It is too bad ST didn't wait until how the 2 Shoreline light rail stations worked for the public before designing the Stride that goes along 145th. A better route IMHO would have been for Stride from Bothell to use Ballinger Way and then a left at 1st NE (where there is a left turn signal) to go south to 185th. The bus area at the Shoreline North station can accommodate like 20 buses but I rarely see more than 3 there--a much larger bus area than the 148th station. At the same time, people are not using the north station passenger drop off area but instead stopping at the entrance of the bus-only lot or just along 185th creating small traffic issues, albeit temporary. Either use 185th station bus-only lot for more buses or convert a portion for passenger drop-off/pick up. But then a lot of what ST has done hasn't made sense to me so what do I know?
