Kings Hill/Southwest Salmon Street is a former light rail station in Portland, Oregon, United States, which was served by the Blue and Red lines of TriMet's MAX Light Rail. The station was situated within the Goose Hollow neighborhood. Its incorrectly punctuated name refers to the hillside to the west of the station, which has historically been referred to as King's Hill.[2] A section of King's Hill, which contains many historic buildings, qualified for inclusion within the King's Hill Historic District, the easternmost boundary of which is at SW 21st Avenue.[3]
