Link Light Rail Construction

Lynnwood Transit Center Parking

As Sound Transit construction work continues to impact parking areas at the Lynnwood Transit Center, Community Transit suggests travel alternatives to driving there.

Use neighborhood bus routes

The Lynnwood Transit Center is served by routes 112, 113, 115, 116, 120, 130, 196, 201/202. If you are boarding a commuter route at the transit center, please visit our Trip Planner to help plan a transit trip starting closer to your origin.

Carpool, walk, or bike

If possible, please consider carpooling with others to the transit center. The fewer cars that are driven, the less difficult it will be to park. If you live nearby, walking or biking may be a less stressful alternative to parking.

Other park & rides still have open space

The Edmonds Park & Ride can be used for customers to ride Route 871 for the U-District and University of Washington, or Route 405 to downtown Seattle. The Swamp Creek Park & Ride on 164^th St. is served by Routes 413 and 415 to downtown Seattle, and Route 880 to UW.

The former Roger's Market alternative parking site in Mountlake Terrace also has available parking to catch Routes 810 and 871 for the University area or use the Sound Transit provided free shuttle to the Mountlake Terrace Transit Center for downtown Seattle buses 410, 413, 415, 435, 511, 512, 513.

If you must park at the transit center

Please park in legal and safe spaces only. Do not block travel lanes or park in marked No Parking or yellow-curb areas.

Lynnwood Transit Center parking changes begin Monday, Feb. 3

Starting Monday, Feb. 3, Sound Transit will shift some parking spaces at the Lynnwood Transit Center. The new temporary lot will extend northeast, to the corner of 44^th Ave W and 200^th St SW. An equal number of spaces in the transit center will be closed for construction work.

Please refer to the map below for approved parking areas and safe pedestrian walkways. 

These parking areas are expected to be in use for 12-14 months and will allow for the construction of light rail infrastructure within the transit center.

Thank you for your patience as we work toward integrating our bus service with future light rail service in Snohomish County.

Veterans Memorial Park Trail Access to Close Friday, Dec. 6

Due to Link light rail construction, pedestrian access to the Mountlake Terrace Transit Center from the Veterans Memorial Park trail will close on Friday, Dec. 6. Access to the transit center from the trail is expected to be closed for the duration of light rail construction.

If you are walking to the transit center, please use sidewalks on 236th St. SW, or park at the Roger’s Market Interim Park and Ride and use the free shuttle.

Pick-up and drop-off for the shuttle at the Interim Park and Ride lot is on the west side of 56th Ave W, near the shelter closest to 232nd Street SW. Pick-up and drop-off for the shuttle at the transit center is at Bay 2.

Plenty of parking at Roger’s Market site for UW riders

Following the recent closure of the surface parking lot at Mountlake Terrace Transit Center, bus riders traveling to University of Washington on Route 810 and 871 buses are encouraged to park at the interim lot at the old Roger’s Market site on 56^th Ave. W near 232^nd Street.

There are 230 parking spaces available and boarding at the interim lot, one stop before the transit center, will give riders earlier seating options.

Riders of downtown Seattle routes
Local and Seattle-bound bus riders are asked to continue parking in the Mountlake Terrace Transit Center garage. This will avoid the need for an additional transfer.

Free shuttle
A free Sound Transit-provided shuttle is running between the Interim Park and Ride lot at Roger's Market and the transit center. The shuttle circulates continuously every 10 minutes (or less) during peak hours. Riders who park at the interim lot can also catch any Community Transit bus heading toward the transit center (if you have an ORCA card, your fare is transferable to your next boarding within two hours). ---The shuttle operates from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding observed Federal Holidays.
