When they were building the freeway exchange on the land where the station used to sit, someone bought it and moved it to its current location. It would have otherwise been torn down. Here in Shoreline, our portion of the Interurban Trail is being turned into a bicycle / jogging / walking trail. It will take years and involves building a bridge over Hwy 99, but it will happen, thanks to our local legislators and county council rep. A lot of the trail still exists because it has been used by Seattle City Light - you can see the ghost of the trail if you know where to look. Diane
