Opened Link 1 Line extension brings light rail to Snohomish County for the first time
Link light rail traveling next to and above freeway during sunset
Starting August 30, passengers in Snohomish County and Shoreline were able to avoid traffic congestion and use Link light rail to travel quickly and safely to downtown Seattle and SeaTac airport. The 8.5-mile extension of the 1 Line includes four stations, one at Lynnwood City Center, one at Mountlake Terrace, and two in Shoreline, as well as three new parking structures.
This was the third opening in the past year for Sound Transit. Last September, the T Line opened service to Hilltop, and in April the 2 Line opened between South Bellevue and Redmond Technology Stations. The Lynnwood opening heralds the start of even more transformative expansions, with the 2 Line expanded to downtown Redmond early next year, followed by the opening of the rest of the 2 Line later in 2025 and the start of service to Federal Way in 2026.
