Mountlake Terrace Transit Center is a bus station and proposed light rail station in Mountlake Terrace, Washington.

In 2024, it will be served by an elevated light rail station on Sound Transit's Lynnwood Link Extension, part of the Link Light Rail system.[1][2]

Location

Mountlake Terrace Transit Center is located adjacent to Interstate 5 at 236th Street SW. It is west of Mountlake Terrace's city center.

History

Community Transit opened a 400-stall park and ride lot at Interstate 5 and 236th Street Southwest on April 12, 1983.[3] It was initially served by Community Transit and King County Metro commuter service,[4] until the latter dropped service to Snohomish County in June 1989.[5][6]

The parking garage at Mountlake Terrace Transit Center was dedicated on February 20, 2009, and opened on February 23.[7][8] The freeway flyer stop, located in the median of Interstate 5, opened on March 20, 2011. It was immediately served by Sound Transit Express and Community Transit commuter routes connecting Snohomish County to Downtown Seattle.[9] The median flyer stop was first proposed in a 1996 report by Sound Transit and WSDOT.[10]

Transit-oriented development

The former site of the Evergreen Elementary School, just south of the station, will be redeveloped into a three-building complex with 600 apartments and retail spaces.[11]
