Testing is also recommended for asymptomatic people who: are a close contact of a confirmed case; live in a congregate setting, like a shelter, group home, or assisted living facility; work in a location that has had a case; part of a family or social network that has had a case; or work in healthcare, EMS, law enforcement, or other fields where work settings have a higher risk of catching or spreading COVID-19.

Zoom Webinar Instructions
Construction has begun on a new parking garage at the Lynnwood Transit Center. The new garage will contain 1,670 parking stalls in a five-story structure. Along with adjacent surface lots containing 226 stalls, the Lynnwood City Center Station will have nearly 1,900 parking stalls, approximately 500 more stalls than are on the current transit center site. The new structure is projected to achieve LEED® silver certification. The parking garage will have driveway entrances off of 48th Avenue and 44th Avenue respectively and an easy connection to the adjacent elevated light rail station.
The parking garage is scheduled to open to the public in the spring of 2023, more than a year before light rail service to the Lynnwood City Center Station begins, in order to allow for the site work around the station to be completed, including the surface parking lots, landscaping, and other site amenities.
When Lynnwood Link opens in 2024, passengers will enjoy fast, frequent and reliable service between south Snohomish County, the University of Washington, downtown Seattle, the Eastside, Sea-Tac Airport and Federal Way. The extension includes four new stations serving Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace, Shoreline and Seattle. Trains from Lynnwood will also serve the Eastside and reach downtown Bellevue.
