Amtrak Selects Contractor for $300M Rail Yard Project in Seattle

Amtrak will soon begin major rail yard upgrades in Seattle following the award of a construction contract. The upgraded King Street Yard will enable modern, more efficient maintenance practices and support the introduction of new, Amtrak Airo trains.

Amtrak has awarded PCL Construction Services, Inc. a construction contract to upgrade the King Street Yard. Once complete, the rail yard will feature a new two-bay Maintenance and Inspection facility and a new Service and Cleaning bay, providing the foundations for a world-class maintenance yard.

Additional improvements include relocating existing facilities, upgrading utilities, and adding space to store train maintenance materials. Regular service will be maintained throughout the duration of this project, which is expected to be completed in 2027. This work will be completed within the rail yard’s existing footprint, south of the Stadium District in Seattle.

Amtrak’s King Street Coach Yard is located approximately one mile south of King Street Station and experiences more than 200 daily train movements. The overall project investment is nearly $300 million, funded by the IIJA.
