SNOHOMISH COUNTY — Light rail service begins from the Lynnwood Transit Center on Friday, Aug. 30 as its new northernmost terminus, which will open a connection that runs as far south as beyond Sea-Tac Airport.
Four stations opened: One at Lynnwood Transit Center (20100 48th Ave W., off of I-5), one in Mountlake Terrace and two in Shoreline.
The line is on its own tracks and can get people from Lynnwood to Seattle’s Westlake Center in about 28 minutes.
At Lynnwood, a 500-stall parking garage is accessible by 48th Avenue W. or 44th Avenue W.
The light rail lines eventually will connect northward to Everett, eastward to Bellevue and southward to Tacoma.
Light rail may reach south Everett by 2037 and north Everett by 2041 under Sound Transit’s current estimated schedules. Southward plans are to reach Tacoma in 2035.
Taxes on car tabs passed by voters through Sound Transit 3 are helping pay for the line
