Sound Transit announced that August 30 is the opening date of Lynnwood Link today. Snohomish County leaders called the light rail extension a "game-changer."

Up to 10 Sound Transit-owned parking facilities -- including at all Link station parking facilities -- could see daily paid parking begin around the time that the Lynnwood Link Extension opens.
