Seattle Sound Transit’s newest light rail facility earned Leadership Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council for its use of sustainable practices in the design and construction of the Angle Lake Station, which opened in the city of SeaTac last fall. LEED Certification provides independent verification of a building’s sustainable design and is the most widely used sustainability rating system in the world.
“The Angle Lake Station exemplifies the creative ways in which transit facilities can function as sustainable resources in their communities,” said Sound Transit CEO Peter Rogoff.
