Lynnwood light rail is super popular -- but there's a problem [View all]

LYNNWOOD — When the region’s light rail reached Lynnwood this summer, the station’s parking garage was billed as the largest in all of Snohomish County.

With 1,670 spaces, it’s nearly double the size of the 877-stall garage at the next station down the line in Mountlake Terrace. Combined with the adjacent surface parking lot, Lynnwood boasts 1,900 spots, free of charge, waiting for riders taking the train south. If there’s room.

Nearly two months after train service began, some Lynnwood passengers wonder if the garage is big enough. With the structure full, or nearly so on most days, some would-be riders said they’ve abandoned plans to ride light rail after circling the garage, and instead opted to hop on the freeway and join traffic.

“When I can’t get into park at this thing, I get ticked,” said Molly Jones, who lives on the Edmonds-Lynnwood border. “I think, ‘Who planned this thing?’”

A lot of bus connections. That's how I get there.
