The North Corridor Transit Project is now known as the Lynnwood Link Extension, Sound Transit said. Early in the planning process, Sound Transit needed a project name that encompassed several modes of transit considered in the Alternatives Analysis phase. Now that light rail has been confirmed as the best transit mode to serve the Interstate 5 corridor between Northgate and Lynnwood, the new name appropriately includes Link light rail and the new line’s end point.

The project name change also aligns with a recently approved policy for naming Sound Transit facilities and operating systems. You’ll see the transition to new project names on the web and project materials for this project and other Link extensions to the east and south. Over time, the names of other Sound Transit projects throughout the region also may be changed to better represent the neighborhoods they serve and help customers more easily find their destinations.
