With light rail coming soon, Mountlake Terrace's moment is nearly here

MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — Spurred by light rail, development is charging ahead in Mountlake Terrace.

This comes as the city plans to absorb up to 15,000 more residents in the next two decades. But closer than a potential population boom is the thing bringing it — the Link.

At the end of August, Sound Transit will open its long-awaited northern Link expansion, with four new stations stretching to Lynnwood. For northbound riders, Mountlake Terrace will be their first light rail venture into Snohomish County, with the stop at 236th Street SW.

Sound Transit is expecting 47,000 to 55,000 riders on the new extension by 2026. A trip from Mountlake Terrace to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport will take an estimated 56 minutes.
