Farragut WestFarragut West is a Washington Metro station in Washington, D.C. on the Blue and Orange Lines.
The station serves downtown Washington, just west of Farragut Square with two entrances on I Street at 17th and 18th Streets, Northwest. It is only a block away (across the Square) from Farragut North station; however, there is no direct connection between the two stations. As part of its long-term capital improvement plan dated September 12, 2002, Metro has proposed building an underground pedestrian tunnel connecting this station with Farragut North.
Service began on July 1, 1977 with the inauguration of the Blue Line. This was the first station in the system to open without any pylons along the platform. Information normally found on the pylons is located on wall plaques. It is the fourth-busiest station in the Metrorail system, averaging 25,000 passengers per weekday as of May 3, 2006.
