Location

Washington Street station is an at-grade station on the Blue Line and Green Line of the San Diego Trolley system. It is located along the Surf Line right of way at West Washington Street, in a largely industrial area of San Diego. The stop also serves Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego and the Mission Hills neighborhood, which includes a variety of medium-density housing within blocks of the station.

This station opened on June 16, 1996 as part of the North/South Line (later renamed the Blue Line) extension to the Old Town Transit Center. On July 2, 2011, the station was closed for renovations as part of the Trolley Renewal Project. It was originally supposed to reopen by early September, but numerous construction issues pushed the reopening to November 24, 2011.

The stone wall on the Southbound side of the station was destroyed in the Summer of 2024 and instead replaced with a fence side with remnants of the old wall.
