Edmonds Civic Roundtable (ECR) volunteers will lead a light rail field trip Tuesday, Sept. 17, from the Lynnwood light rail station to Northgate station via a Community Transit bus from Edmonds Station (just south of the ferry landing). The group will start at 9 a.m.
At Northgate, the group will reverse the route back to Edmonds. The entire trip will take about 2.5 to three hours. There are no reservations – just show up. Parking is available at the Sound Transit lot.
Riders can pay with an ORCA card or a debit or credit card at the ticket machine.
Veteran transit riders will be there to answer questions.
Contact Roger Pence at rdpence@comcast.net.
I am interested in joining with a person in a wheelchair.
Parking in Edmonds at SoundTransit lot… Google maps show it temporarily closed. Is there an exact address?
All public transit buses and trains are wheelchair accessible. The Sound Transit parking lot is open; access it via Dayton Street. We look forward to seeing you both next Tuesday morning!
Thanks for putting this field trip together Roger. And I appreciate the invitation, this should be a lot of fun.
Folks, if you’d like to join us and want to pick up an Orca card, we can do this at the Ride Store. If you qualify and want to take advantage of the senior discount, be sure to bring your id showing your birthdate.
I’ve asked for a Community Transit staff person to join us who is a transit trainer and can answer most of your questions.
All are welcome!
Thank you Susan. As Edmonds’ representative on the Community Transit board, we appreciate your support and assistance.
Senior riders (65+) can get their Senior ORCA card at the CT Ride Store next to the Lynnwood light rail station. Cards are free; just show some ID. Put some cash value on your card and get the discounted fare of $1 per trip. Transfers are free with an ORCA card.
The Ride Store is open Monday-Friday 7 AM– 6 PM and Saturday 8:30 AM– 4 PM. Closed Sundays and major holidays.
We look forward to venturesome riders Tuesday morning, 9:00 AM at Edmonds Station!
