Light Rail Communities
Welcome
Welcome to Snohomish County’s Light Rail Communities project webpage. Snohomish County is planning for the arrival of light rail to unincorporated Snohomish County expected to begin service in the mid-2030s.
Project Overview
To prepare for the arrival of light rail, Snohomish County is proactively planning to leverage major transit investments to benefit the surrounding communities. We want to engage with the people who live, work, do business or own property in these areas to consider what light rail could mean to their community and to plan for the future. This planning project is comprised of two components:
- Station Area Planning(2018-2019)
- Completed Work: Station Area Planning Final Report
- Completed Work: Council Resolution
- Subarea Planning (2020-2024)
It is important to note that Snohomish County’s planning efforts do not include the design of the light rail stations, construction, mitigation, operation or maintenance of light rail; those are the responsibility of Sound Transit. Final decisions on the actual station location and alignment will be made by Sound Transit in 2025. However, we want to make an effort to ensure the voices of our communities are heard. Light rail service to between Lynnwood and Everett is scheduled to begin in 2036.
