The 8.5-mile light rail extension from Northgate to the Lynnwood Transit Center is in the final design phase, with construction scheduled to begin in 2018.
Final design offers many opportunities for residents, neighborhood organizations, property owners and businesses to get involved.
Trains will serve four stations along the route at NE 145th St, NE 185th St, the Mountlake Terrace Transit Center at 236th St SW, and the Lynnwood Transit Center at 48th Ave W. The project includes a total of approximately 1,500 additional park-and-ride spaces in the corridor.
Commuters from the Lynnwood Transit Center will enjoy 13-minute rides to Northgate Mall, 18-minute rides to the U District, 27-minute rides to downtown Seattle and 60-minute rides to Sea-Tac Airport.
