History
editThe station was originally named Spring District/120th in June 2015.[5] The name was shortened to Spring District station in October 2023 following a request from the Bellevue city government.[6] The 2 Line opened on April 27, 2024; as part of the opening festivities, the station hosted food trucks and live music sponsored primarily by Meta and Spring District developer Wright Runstad.[7]
Design
editThe station, designed by LMN Architects, was built in a trench that places the platforms under street level.[8] To the west of the station, a wye junction enables access to an operations and maintenance facility for Link trains.[9]
