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.
