Three chances this week to find out about Lynnwood Link

Last week, Sound Transit held what they considered a very successful open house in Mountlake Terrace to go over the recently published Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Lynnwood Link Extension. About 90 community members came out to learn more about the light rail project, which should be under construction starting in 2018 with train service launching in 2023.

Seattle on Tuesday

Lynnwood on Wednesday

Shoreline on Thursday

The next open houses are scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 20, in Seattle; Wednesday, Aug. 21, in Lynnwood and Thursday, Aug. 22, in Shoreline. All meetings are from 5:30 to 8pm so there’s plenty of time to stop by to talk with the project team and submit your comments.

The draft EIS evaluates the light rail route and station alternatives and describes the 8.5-mile project's potential effects on the environment, nearby properties and transportation, as well as other impacts. The 60-day extended comment period ends Sept. 23. More information here.
