After the Northgate extension opens in 2021, the Lynnwood Link Extension extends light rail into Snohomish County, serving four stations, Shoreline South/145th, Shoreline North/185th, Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood City Center. Upon opening in 2024, riders will enjoy fast, frequent and reliable service between south Snohomish County and the University of Washington, downtown Seattle, the Eastside, Sea-Tac Airport and more. Funding In early September 2018, Sound Transit announced welcome news from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) indicating the agency’s allocation of $100 million in FY 2018 capital investment grant funding for the Lynnwood Link light rail extension. This followed $100 million in FY 2017. On December 19, 2018, the FTA executed the $1.17 billion Full Funding Grant Agreement. The grant will cover roughly a third of the $3.26 billion needed to extend service from Northgate to Lynnwood. The amount includes financing costs, rail car purchases and some maintenance expenses. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Build America Bureau also executed a $658 million low-interest loan supporting the Lynnwood light rail extension, further cementing the federal government’s commitment to Sound Transit’s northward expansion.

  • 2020 Gaps Analysis Executive Summary
    2020 GAPS ANALYSIS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A variety of unique transportation gaps exist in North King County, an area that includes the cities of North Seattle, Shoreline, Bothell, Kenmore, Lake Forest Park, and Woodinville. These gaps may be spatial, temporal, institutional, infrastructural, or awareness gaps. Seeing these needs, a community task force supported by the North King County Mobility Coalition formed to understand the region's unique needs better. The purpose of this analysis is to: Understand the mobility challenges in the North King County region for populations with special transportation needs and, in doing so, better coordinate members and service providers to facilitate mobility improvement projects. As a result of this analysis, the North King County Mobility Coalition has identified several prioritized projects and actions for the region. Whether you’re a resident, an elected official, a human service organization, or a private business, a unified voice is required to enact these changes and ensure transportation better serves people throughout North King County. We invite you to join in on these conversations. Accomplishing projects related to the needs identified in this report will result in many benefits for the region and the people our coalition aims to serve. The most prominent recommendations for the North King County Region identified by this report are as follows: ► Directly engage with all North King County cities around transportation issues outlined in this Gaps Analysis and implement actions that will address these issues. ► Increase outreach to underserved communities, especially limited English speakers. ► Alternative services should be as low-barrier as possible with their intake process.
