Location

In August 2016, Sound Transit moved the station's location approximately 400 feet (120 m) north of the initial site to Northeast 148th Street to improve bus connections.

The area west of the freeway was rezoned for denser residential development by the Shoreline city government with a planned cap of 2,214 units; several multi-story buildings were constructed in the 2020s following the assembly of existing residential parcels.

Why this record matters
“Shoreline South/148th station” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Shoreline, South and 148th provides the most credible route into that argument.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q20712543. Authority coordinates are 47.736, -122.325. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2024, 2016, 2023 and 2027.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
