The Everett Link Extension would add 16 miles of light rail and six new stations, connecting communities from Lynnwood through unincorporated Snohomish County to Everett Station, and from there to Seattle, Sea-Tac International Airport, the Eastside, and eventually south to Tacoma. For workers commuting to Boeing’s Everett plant, the healthcare workers at Providence Regional Medical Center, the thousands employed across the Southwest Everett Industrial Center, and the residents of Mariner, Ash Way, and Evergreen, this was a promise that their county would finally have the regional transit connection it had long needed.
