Map of Wilburton station and what's walkable
Why get off here
Wilburton is the station for people arriving with a bike, a dog, or walking shoes. The Eastrail corridor runs alongside it, and the Bellevue Botanical Garden is within walking distance.
It is also the fastest way to reach the Wilburton hill restaurants without circling for parking.
One thing catches people out: the Wilburton Park & Ride and Wilburton Station are two different places, roughly a mile apart. If you are driving to the train, read the parking answer below before you set off.
Is there a Wilburton Park & Ride?
Yes, but it is not at the light rail station. Wilburton Park & Ride is a King County Metro lot at 720 114th Ave SE, about a mile south of Wilburton Station, and the station itself has no passenger parking.
- Wilburton Park & Ride: 720 114th Ave SE, Bellevue, WA 98004, operated by King County Metro with 186 stalls, near I-405 and SE 8th St.
- Sound Transit lists Wilburton Station at 855 118th Ave NE. It does not list park-and-ride parking at this station.
- If you want to drive and ride, South Bellevue Station is the Bellevue stop with a structured park-and-ride garage.
- Arriving on foot, by bike, or by bus is the intended access here — the Eastrail crossing runs alongside the platform.
Driving to the train? Use South Bellevue Station and its park-and-ride garage, or plan the trip on the Bellevue map.
We do not publish current stall availability, permit status, or bus routing for the park-and-ride: Metro's permit program status and the fall service change can move those. Check King County Metro before you travel.
Verified against King County Metro — park-and-ride locations and Sound Transit — Wilburton Station.
