Sound Transit survey on impact of Everett light rail line now open

Sound Transit has opened a survey for public feedback on the upcoming Everett segment of the Link light rail line, which will stretch 16 miles and feature seven new stations. The proposed route will run from Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood to Everett Station, with a connection to Paine Field and Boeing's area. Residents can submit their opinions until August 28 through various channels, including a dedicated webpage and email. Construction is projected to begin in the 2030s, with some service potentially starting by 2037. The formal decision on the line's route will be made in 2027, highlighting the project's long-term planning.

This initiative aims to enhance regional transit connectivity and support local economic growth. The survey was launched to gather insights on the impacts and purpose of the new light rail segment. Sound Transit emphasizes community engagement as vital for the project's success.
