103 stall parking lot opens in Edmonds for Sound Transit commuters

Friday, July 12, 2013

A 103-space surface lot next to Edmonds Station is open under a five-year lease agreement with Sound Transit. The new lot, which opened earlier this week, should help relieve the stress of finding parking at the station. The new lot will also provide more parking options for riders on our special service, including the popular game trains.

A temporary 53-space lot was available for passenger use since late last year.


Lynnwood Link Extension (the extension will run the length of Shoreline, with two stations)

The schedule for the Lynnwood Link Extension environmental studies is moving forward this summer and fall.

A staff report to the Sound Transit Capital Committee on Thursday showed that the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the 8.5-mile light rail extension between Northgate and the Lynnwood Transit Center is expected to be published by the end of this month. That kicks off a formal 60-day public review and comment period. Open houses and public hearings will begin next month.

The Board is expected to choose a preferred route alternative late this year that will be studied in a Final EIS. Construction should begin around 2018 with train service starting in 2023.
