Fall 2026 Service Change: Snohomish County and North King County

The final phase of the Lynnwood Link restructure will take place in north King County on August 29. These changes are in response to the improved frequency of the 1 Line and 2 Line between Seattle and Lynnwood and the upcoming opening of Pinehurst station. In Snohomish County, Community Transit is opening the Cathcart Park & Ride and adjusting the early-monring/late-night trips for several routes. The Fall 2026 restructure also includes routes in south King County and Pierce County, as well as east King County.

Sound Transit is dramatically expanding its night service network with new routes between Seattle-Redmond and Seattle-Lakewood. Unfortunately, the planned night owl route between Seattle-Everett has been delayed until 2027.
