The Seattle Symphony and Sound Transit announced the renaming of “University Street Station” to “Symphony Station.”

The station is being renamed to provide better way-finding for customers and to avoid confusion with “University of Washington Station” and “U-District Station.”

During the renaming ceremony, Krishna Thiagarajan, Seattle Symphony’s President & CEO, along with other city official will provide remarks. There be an unveiling of the Symphony Station signage, and a special performance by Seattle Symphony musicians.

In a press release, Goran Sparrman, Sound Transit’s Interim CEO said, “The debut of Symphony Station, coinciding with the onset of the Seattle Symphony’s 2024-2025 season, both increases clarity for Sound Transit passengers and celebrates downtown Seattle’s cultural resources, attractions that draw riders from throughout our region and the world.”

The ceremony is set for September 9, at 11 a.m. The ceremony will take place at the “Second avenue” entrance of University Street Station, located under Benaroya Hall, home to the Seattle Symphony, between Second and Third avenues.
