Washington Street station (San Diego Trolley)
Washington Street station is a ground-level transit stop on both the Blue Line and Green Line within the San Diego Trolley network. Positioned along the Surf Line at West Washington Street, this station primarily serves an industrial sector of San Diego, encompassing the Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego and the nearby residential area of Mission Hills, which features moderate-density housing.
The station commenced operations on June 16, 1996, coinciding with the North/South Line extension reaching the Old Town Transit Center. It was temporarily closed on July 2, 2011, to undergo upgrades as part of the Trolley Renewal Project. Although initially planned to reopen in early September of that year, unforeseen construction delays postponed its reopening until November 24, 2011.
During the summer of 2024, the stone wall on the southbound side was dismantled and replaced by a fence that preserves elements of the original construction.
Station layout
The facility comprises four tracks: two dedicated to trolley operations and two additional passing tracks used by commuter rail, intercity services, and BNSF freight trains.
