Getting around Lynnwood with Community Transit
Community Transit is here to get you where you want to go. We are proud to be a part of the Lynnwood community — we live here, ride here, and drive here. Wherever you need to go in Lynnwood, feel good about how you get there.
About Lynnwood
As a regional crossroads, Lynnwood is home to many popular destinations. These include the Alderwood Mall shopping center, Edmonds College (also home to CWU-Lynnwood) and the Lynnwood City Center Station, which provides local and regional transit access to Seattle, the Eastside and Everett and the rest of Snohomish County. At the Lynnwood City Center Station you can also find the Ride Store, which provides more information on Community Transit’s services — such as bus schedules, Swift bus rapid transit, including the newest addition, Swift Orange Line, Zip Shuttle Alderwood, DART and Vanpool — as well as purchase or add fare to ORCA cards, good for travel throughout the region.
