 A Link light rail train prepares to depart from an elevated station.
There’s still time to share your thoughts on the alternatives we’re studying for the Everett Link Extension! We’re looking for feedback on potential route, station and Operations and Maintenance Facility North locations so we can better understand how light rail can best serve you and your community, along with trade-offs to consider along the corridor.
Learn more and provide your input by April 3. Your feedback will be shared with key decision-makers to help inform which alternatives we continue studying. If you have questions or need assistance, please contact the project’s outreach team at EverettLink@soundtransit.org or 206-370-5533.
On March 24, the Community Advisory Group will consider community input received to date, as well as information learned during technical analysis of the Level 1 alternatives. The CAG will make a recommendation to the Elected Leadership Group for which alternatives to advance to the Level 2 analysis, and which alternatives to remove from consideration. In April, the ELG will recommend alternatives to advance into Level 2 based on community feedback, technical analysis and the CAG’s recommendation. We'll have Level 2 findings to bring back to you in the fall.
Your feedback during the current planning phase influences the decision-making process! After April 3, the next opportunity for community feedback will be this fall or winter, as we prepare for environmental review. Your input now and later this year will inform the CAG, ELG and Sound Transit Board as they deliberate on which alternatives advance to environmental review in early 2023.
Last October, Sound Transit opened three new Link stations in Seattle with the introduction of the U District, Roosevelt and Northgate stations. Within three years, Sound Transit will open a whopping 25 new Link stations!
The new stations are part of the new Link extensions Sound Transit is building to connect to Lynnwood, Redmond, Bellevue, Mercer Island, Federal Way and Tacoma’s Hilltop neighborhood. There’s never been a more exciting time to explore where Sound Transit can take you.
You can check out our progress in 2021 and explore the new transit connections coming to you in the years ahead by reading our progress report.
