About Arlington

Arlington lies on the Stillaguamish River in the western foothills of the Cascade Range and is home to many regional destinations. People traveling to and from the area can choose from a robust bus and ferry network, the expanding Sound Transit commuter train, and express bus routes adjacent to the city of Marysville. Smokey Point Transit Center is a major hub for many of these regional transit options, including Community Transit buses, DART paratransit service, and Vanpool riders. The Snohomish County Centennial Trail also offers nearby options for pedestrians and bikers.
