The T Line, station by station
Tacoma's light rail runs between the Tacoma Dome and Hilltop. What makes it useful is not the train — it is what sits within a few minutes' walk of each platform. Open any station below for the museums, food, parks, and viewpoints you can reach on foot from that stop. Service details are set by Sound Transit, so we point you to them rather than restating numbers that change.
