Beginning Monday, July 12, Sound Transit will close the Interurban Trail between 52nd Ave W and 44th Ave W near the Lynnwood Transit Center for ten months, reopening May 1, 2022. A detour will be provided for trail users. During the closure, crews will continue building the Lynnwood City Center Station, the new parking garage and restore the Scriber Creek area.
Information about the closure, including a map of a detour, is available online.
The station at the Lynnwood Transit Center will serve one of the busiest transit centers in the region. A new garage will contain approximately 1,665 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.
Construction of the parking garage at the Lynnwood Transit Center began last October. The parking garage is scheduled to open to the public in the spring of 2023, before light rail service to the Lynnwood City Center Station begins in 2024, in order to allow for the site work around the station to be completed.
By 2024 Lynnwood Link and other extensions currently under construction will more than double the length of the region's light rail system. After Lynnwood opens in 2024, passengers from the Lynnwood Transit Center will enjoy 20-minute rides to the University of Washington, 27-minute rides to downtown Seattle and 60-minute rides to Sea-Tac Airport. Trains from Lynnwood will also serve the Eastside and reach downtown Bellevue in 51 minutes.
Sound Transit is simultaneously working to extend light rail north, south, east and west. Northgate Link is scheduled to open October 2, 2021. It will be followed in 2023 by the opening of service to Mercer Island, Bellevue and Redmond's Overlake community. In addition to the Lynnwood Link Extension, additional extensions to Kent/Des Moines, Federal Way and downtown Redmond are planned to open in 2024.
