Frequently Asked Questions

When is the next 1 Line train?
The arrival boards on this page show live 1 Line arrival times at key stations along the route, updated every 60 seconds. The data comes from real-time vehicle tracking by Sound Transit, not the static published schedule. If a train is delayed or running ahead, the times here reflect its actual position on the route.
How often does the 1 Line run?
Trains run every 8 minutes during peak hours and every 10-15 minutes during off-peak times and weekends. Service starts around 5:00 AM (6:00 AM on Sundays) and runs until approximately midnight. Actual intervals can vary due to traffic or service disruptions, which is why the live arrival times on this page are more useful than the published timetable for planning your trip.
How many stations does the 1 Line have?
The 1 Line serves 26 stations, running from Westlake to Federal Way Downtown. Each station has its own dedicated page on this site with live arrival data, a map, and nearby stations — so you can find real-time info for wherever you board.
What is the 1 Line schedule on weekends?
Weekend service on the 1 Line typically runs at reduced frequency compared to weekdays. Trains run every 8 minutes during peak hours and every 10-15 minutes during off-peak times and weekends. Because weekend schedules can shift, the live arrival times on this page are the most reliable way to see when the next train is actually coming.
How accurate are the arrival times on this page?
The arrival times are based on real-time tracking from Sound Transit, not a static timetable. When trains are running behind schedule or ahead of it, the times here update to reflect the vehicle's actual position. A green dot next to a time means it's a live-tracked prediction; a gray dot means the system is using the published schedule for that trip.
