The NE 185th Street station is a proposed Link Light Rail station on the Lynnwood Link Extension serving Shoreline, Washington. The extension and station are fully funded; there are several proposed alternatives for station siting in the Shoreline area, but they all include a station at 185th. The station is proposed to be located on the north side of NE 185th Street, east of Interstate 5, either at-grade or on an elevated segment of the line.
A community group recognized by Shoreline, called 185th Station-Area Citizens Committee (185SCC) was formed in 2012. The formal planning process in Shoreline started in May 2013. Public involvement in the planning surrounding light rail in Shoreline is said to be greater than it was for the Central Link in central Seattle. The Central Link planning has been characterized as "ST went into their neighborhood, telling people what they were going to do and providing little avenue for community input or influence."
Public involvement has not always been orderly. At a March 2015 public forum in Shoreline on rezoning, the city's mayor threatened to have rowdy, shouting participants ejected by police.
