About 2,700 people per day are expected to board trains at Angle Lake Station, set to open in September 2016. The site is convenient for airport workers and residents of the hundreds of apartments along International Boulevard South. Sound Transit supporters gave speeches Wednesday as construction begins on a $30 million, 1,050-space park-and-ride garage.
