The Skidmore Fountain station is a light rail station on the MAX Blue and Red Lines in Portland, Oregon. It is currently the fifth stop eastbound on the Eastside MAX. It was previously also served by the Yellow Line, from 2004 to 2009, until that line's relocation to the Portland Transit Mall.

The station has side platforms built into the sidewalk. Located under the west approach of the Burnside Bridge at the intersection of Burnside Street and Southwest 1st Avenue, it serves the Tom McCall Waterfront Park, the Portland Saturday Market, and Skidmore Fountain.

Bus connections

This station is served by the following bus lines:

  • 12 – Barbur/Sandy Blvd
  • 19 – Woodstock/Glisan
  • 20 – Burnside/Stark

(ID number 689)

Closure

Skidmore Fountain station is scheduled to close in August 2025 due to its low number of riders using the station and proximity to other stations on the Red and Blue lines. The closure was proposed in 2018 as part of a program to improve travel times along the MAX system, particularly in Downtown Portland, and approved by the TriMet Board in April 2024.[1]
