Transit Town Hall: The Future of Light Rail in Snohomish County

Join Transportation Choices Coalition and Snotrac for our Sound Transit Snohomish County Town Hall!

Date: Tuesday, April 14
Time: 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM
Location: Weyerhaeuser Room, Everett Station
Address: 3201 Smith Avenue (4th Floor) Everett, WA 98201

Sound Transit is navigating a critical phase in determining what the future of light rail will look like. Following announced cost overruns of around $35 billion for the long-range plan, the agency is reassessing how to deliver the transit system voters approved while facing real financial and logistical challenges. Although Light Rail has been delivered to Snohomish County, decisions will need to be made by Sound Transit Board members that will affect completing the spine to Everett and system expansion as a whole.

Come learn what is on the table and ask questions to Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers, Everett Mayor Cassie Franklin, and Lynnwood City Councilmember David Parshall. The event will be a hybrid town hall with a brief presentation from Sound Transit on the Enterprise Initiative, a structured Q&A, and then an open Q&A. The event is organized in partnership with Snotrac and the conversation will be moderated by Snotrac Executive Director, Brock Howell.

Snacks and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided.
