The Everett Link Draft Environmental Impact Statement is here!
Your light rail, your voice, your future
The Everett Link Extension Draft Environmental Impact Statement is now available for review and public comment, and we want to hear from you! The Draft EIS explores how the different project alternatives could affect the physical, natural, and human environment. It also explains how potential impacts could be reduced where feasible.
Visit our engagement website to learn more about the project, explore the different options being studied, and review specific sections of the Draft EIS based on your interests.
A 45-day comment period is now open until Nov. 2 for you to share your thoughts with Sound Transit. Your comments will help shape future light rail access in your community and help us make important decisions about station, route, and Operations and Maintenance Facility North locations. Even though the project is still in the planning phase and may feel far away, your comments can make the biggest difference. Your feedback will be shared with the Sound Transit Board before they decide which options to select as the preferred alternative to refine for further study in the Final EIS.
