==History==
Planning for a commuter rail line between Beaverton and Wilsonville in Washington County began as early as 1996. In 2001, the Federal Transit Administration authorized the project, and in 2004 they approved the project. Plans for the location of a station in Tualatin were finalized as early as 2001 when a location along Boones Ferry Road was selected in the city’s transportation plan.〔Bella, Rick. “Tualatin rail stop overrides differences”. ''The Oregonian'', September 26, 2007, Local News, p. C1.〕 Construction on the rail line began in October 2006.
In 2006, the Haggen Food & Pharmacy store adjacent to the station began an effort to change the location of the rail stop.〔Tran, My-Thuan. “Tualatin station short on parking, firm reports”. ''The Oregonian'', March 20, 2007, Local News, p. B3.〕〔Tran, My-Thuan. “TriMet, Haggen to meet on moving Tualatin station”. ''The Oregonian'', June 14, 2007, Local News, p. D3.〕 They contended the station did not have enough parking, original plans for the station included 111 parking spaces, and increased traffic would further increase congestion.〔〔 Haggen’s arguments led to a delay in construction of the station, which was scheduled to begin in July 2007.〔〔Tran, My-Thuan. “West side onboard for risky rail ride”. ''The Oregonian'', April 10, 2007, Local News, p. B1.〕 The city and TriMet countered that the location had been selected in 2001 and re-affirmed in 2005 without objection by Haggen, with TriMet later threatening to forgo having a station in the city.〔
In August 2007, the two sides compromised with the station location remaining as planned, but with increased parking.〔〔Foyston, John. “Businesses OK site for rail station in Tualatin”. ''The Oregonian'', August 3, 2007, Local News, p. D3.〕 On January 9, 2008, construction on the station began with a groundbreaking ceremony that included local dignitaries such as the head of TriMet, Tualatin mayor Lou Ogden, and county commissioner Tom Brian.〔Foyston, John and Steve Mayes, “Construction will start on commuter station”. ''The Oregonian'', January 8, 2008, Local News, p. C3.〕 The public artwork was installed on September 3, 2008. The line and station opened in January 2009.
