2nd and King station is a Muni Metro light rail station located in the median of King Street near Second Street in the China Basin neighborhood of San Francisco, California.

History

The station opened on January 10, 1998, as part of the Muni Metro Extension project. It was initially served by a temporary E Embarcadero line between Embarcadero station and 4th and King/Caltrain station. N Judah service replaced the shuttle service on August 22, 1998. The adjacent San Francisco Giants baseball stadium (then named Pacific Bell Park) opened in 2000, with 2nd and King station serving as a major transit connection for the stadium and surrounding redevelopment.

T Third Street service began on April 7, 2007; N Judah service was initially cut back to Embarcadero station, with J Church service added at peak hours.{{cite book |url=http://archives.sfmta.com/cms/rsrtp/documents/08%20Chapter%203-Third%20St%20LRT%20SRTP%20fy08%20for%20MTAB%201-15-08.pdf |title=SFMTA FY2008-FY2027 Draft Short Range Transit Plan |chapter=Chapter 3: Third Street Light Rail |date=January 15, 2008 |page=3-1 |publisher=San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency |access-date=January 30, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170903115006/http://archives.sfmta.com/cms/rsrtp/documents/08%20Chapter%203-Third%20St%20LRT%20SRTP%20fy08%20for%20MTAB%201-15-08.pdf |archive-date=September 3, 2017 |url-status=dead }}{{cite web |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070714000010/http://www.sfmta.com/cms/mroutes/documents/T3-Manual_v6na.pdf |url=http://www.sfmta.com/cms/mroutes/documents/T3-Manual_v6na.pdf |archivedate=July 14, 2007 |title=Discover the T-Third |year=2007 |publisher=San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency |page=6}} On June 30, 2007, the J and N were restored to their previous configuration.{{cite press release |url=http://www.sfmuni.com/cms/malerts/ServiceChangesEffectiveJune302007.htm |archivedate=June 24, 2007 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070624222728/http://www.sfmuni.com/cms/malerts/ServiceChangesEffectiveJune302007.htm |title=SFMTA announces service changes effective June 30, 2007 |publisher=San Francisco Transportation Agency |date=June 30, 2007}} E Embarcadero heritage streetcar service was added on August 1, 2015.{{cite press release |url=https://www.sfmta.com/press-releases/sfmta-launches-e-embarcadero-historic-streetcar-line |title=SFMTA Launches The E Embarcadero Historic Streetcar Line |date=July 31, 2015|publisher=San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency}}
