A new Greyhound station is starting to take shape here in Seattle.
It's located on S Royal Brougham Way near 6th Ave S... in a little sliver of land next to a giant parking structure for King County Metro. But the location isn't bad, it's in a part of town that is being redeveloped and it's right next to the Link Light Rail Stadium station and the SODO busway and an easy walk to Safeco Field and CenturyLink Field. There is a small loading zone and handicapped parking spot in front of the station, across the street there is a larger parking lot with a cab stand. But perhaps most importantly for Greyhound there is easy access to both I-90 and I-5.
According to some newspaper articles on the internet, Greyhound was in a time crunch to get out of their 85 year old Stewart Street building (that's going to be replaced by a 43-story high-rise) so they opted for a modular building.
The building appears to have 2 or 3 doors to serve as boarding gates and the boarding area appears to have 4 berths. Very small for a city of Seattle's size but I assume that like the current station, no buses will be maintained or stored at this location.
