If you missed the Shoreline open house for the Sound Transit station design, you might want to attend the station design open house in Mountlake Terrace on Wednesday.

The Mountlake Terrace station will be the closest station for residents in the north and east areas of Shoreline and the north and central areas of Lake Forest Park.

The 8.5-mile light rail extension from Northgate to the Lynnwood Transit Center is in the final design phase, with construction scheduled to begin in 2018.

Trains will serve four stations along the route at NE 145th Street, NE 185th Street, the Mountlake Terrace Transit Center at 236th Street SW, and the Lynnwood Transit Center at 48th Avenue West.

By 2021, Sound Transit will expand light rail to the U District, Roosevelt and Northgate. In 2023 trains will reach Shoreline, Mountlake Terrace, Lynnwood, Mercer Island, Bellevue and Overlake / Redmond.

Next up will be extending light rail to Federal Way and downtown Redmond in 2024. From there, continuing expansions will focus on Tacoma, West Seattle, Ballard, Everett, South Kirkland and Issaquah, forming a 116-mile regional system.
