We've gotten questions about whether bikers will be able to connect from the Interurban trail to the Lynnwood Transit Center. The answer is yes. The trail will blend with the fire lane, so you can continue up 48th to the bus loop. Here's a map to show the route.

Apr 13

We're planning to open the new garage at the Lynnwood Transit Center on Monday! It will provide 1,670 spaces for current transit riders and future Link riders. We're opening the garage before light rail service to allow for work around the station site to be completed.

We've resumed normal operations. Thanks to everyone for their patience this afternoon!

There is still no service between Northgate and Roosevelt stations. A bus bridge is in place for passengers traveling between the stations. We anticipate this disruption will last for a while so passengers should allow for extra travel time. Our apologies for the inconvenience.

NB trains are being turned back at Univ of Washington station; a Link shuttle train is running between UWS and Roosevelt. Service between UWS and Angle is not affected, but passengers may experience delays. ow.ly/wUjE50NGrY3

Link is not running between Roosevelt and Northgate while police investigate a suspicious package at Northgate. A bus bridge between stations is being set up for passengers.

When you take transit, you're helping to reduce pollution and make our communities healthier. And Link runs on 100 percent carbon-free electricity - the first major light rail system in the country to go completely green! ow.ly/Wq7R50Njjg6 #GreenPower #EarthMonth

Link is one of your best options to get to the cherry blossoms at the University of Washington. The U District station is the closest, but the University of Washington Station is a lovely walk or roll too. Skip parking and take the train! ow.ly/7zHG50NCTWm

Puyallup Station garage opens today! 650+ more parking spots means taking Sounder is even easier. Plan your trip today ow.ly/Bv2C50NsXcM

Good news! We were able to get the accident scene cleared and service is now resuming. There may be some residual delays but things should be back to normal soon. Thanks for your patience!

Due to the accident at Dawson St., Link shuttle buses are replacing the 1 Line between Columbia City and Othello. Riders should allow for extra travel time. We don't have an ETA for a return to normal service. We'll keep you posted as we get more info. Thanks for your patience.

Heads up: Link trains are currently turning back at Columbia City and Othello due to a collision between a train and passenger vehicle at Dawson St. First responders are on the scene. More details to follow as we get them but be prepared for delays.

Single tracking on the 1 Line has ended, but we're still experiencing significant residual delays from the accident in the Rainier Valley earlier today. We're working hard to get service back to normal as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience with us this afternoon!

Our thanks to

and our entire Congressional delegation for their ongoing support for building an integrated, high-capacity transit system for our region. ow.ly/PhL550Ns1SH

The vehicles have been removed from the tracks in Rainier Valley. Because a downed signal blocks one track, we can only single track when we return to service soon. Only the southbound platform at Columbia City will be available for boarding. Trains will run every 15 minutes.

You can also consider other travel options at ow.ly/PQln50Ns1qW

Be prepared: the service delay between Othello and Columbia City stations is going to last a while. Shuttle buses are replacing Link and ST personnel are on site helping passengers. Plan ahead for extra travel time. We’ll keep you updated as info becomes available.
