Background from Sound Transit:

Sound Transit is preparing to extend mass transit from Northgate to Lynnwood, which voters approved as part of the Sound Transit 2 Plan in 2008, along with funding to continue planning future service all the way to Everett. The North Corridor Transit Project will connect to and build on the Link light rail line that opened for service between downtown Seattle and Sea-Tac Airport in 2009. Construction is currently underway on a light rail extension to the University of Washington scheduled to open in 2016, followed by service to Northgate targeted in 2021. Voter-approved additions over the next few years will bring 36 new miles of service to the north, south and east, creating a 55-mile light rail system serving the region.
