Tacoma Dome Station is the southern terminus for the Tacoma Link Light Rail, the single track of the station (and the line that is single tracked until just before Union Station) continues beyond another block down South 25th Street before crossing it to reach the Operations and Maintenance Facility. The stop is a single platform on the north side of 25th Street a slightly east of D Street with a simple glass canopy. It is across the street from Freighthouse Square and the entrance through it to reach the Sounder Platform. It is right outside one of two large free Parking Garages, Parking West and Parking East (to keep cars out of downtown Tacoma itself) with a total of 2,283 parking spaces. The bottom of these garages, whose footprint stretches for two hole blocks from E to G streets between 25 Street and Puyallup Avenue, hosts separate Pierce Transit and Link and Sounder Customer Service Offices along with a bus loop for Sound Transit Express buses and Pierce Transit. It also includes the Tacoma Greyhound Station. The entire complex is 3 blocks away down Puyallup Avenue from the Tacoma Amtrak Station, and no signs in the complex (their all in a Pierce Transit font) direct transferring passengers to it. A Sound transit sign outside of it along South 25th Street does.
