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.

How do you learn about changes to bus services?

Take our survey for a chance to win $200!

Major changes to bus routes are coming in 2024 as we get ready for Link light rail. Some of those changes could affect your bus. There will be a lot of information to share, and we want to know how to get that information to you! 

Take our survey to let us know how we should tell you about changes to bus service. Your responses will inform how we communicate all service changes going forward. You’ll also have an opportunity to win one of three $200 gift cards!

When you take our survey, you’ll see questions asking about:

  • How you currently learn about changes to bus service.
  • How you would prefer to learn about changes to bus service.
  • What information is important to you for understanding service changes.
