Sound Transit to keep some Snohomish County bus routes
LYNNWOOD — A temporary bus line, Route 515, will run from the Lynnwood City Center station to downtown Seattle, to alleviate overcrowding concerns on the new 8½ miles of Link light rail track set to open in late August.
Sound Transit will offer the express route until the east side Link, known as the 2 Line, crosses Lake Washington sometime in 2025. Once that happens, Sound Transit will have a much easier time making sure train cars are maintained and on time.
The Sound Transit Board of Directors approved the plan in a vote late last month.
Sound Transit — with Community Transit as a subcontractor for the routes — will continue to operate routes 510, 512, and 513. Routes 512 and 513 will be shortened to run between Everett and Lynnwood City Transit Center. Route 510 from Everett to downtown Seattle will continue temporarily and then get reevaluated in 2025.
