SODO

AREA DESCRIPTION -- The SODO transit community, located in the City of Seattle, has been served by Link light rail since 2009. The community is home to major employers including the Starbucks headquarters and a number of industrial firms. Over 12,000 workers are employed within a half mile of the SODO station. Current land use is predominantly industrial, commercial, and transportation and utilities related. With large blocks and relatively low sidewalk coverage, SODO does not offer a walkable built environment. The SODO transit community has a population of 321, nearly all of whom reside at the eastern edge of the half-mile radius from the station, in the Beacon Hill neighborhood. The area effectively served by the station is entirely non-residential.

LOCAL PLANNING -- The SODO transit community is part of a regionally designated Manufacturing and Industrial Center. The City of Seattle does not envision significant change to the SODO station area, but does anticipate gradual infill and intensification of manufacturing, industrial, and commercial where permitted.
