Passengers who rely on Sound Transit’s (ST) train service between Seattle and Lynnwood will need to plan around disruptions this week.

There are several changes to the Link light rail service to accommodate the Pinehurst Station construction.

After 10:15 p.m., the 2 Line will stop service from Northgate to Lynnwood. All Lynnwood-bound 2 Line passengers must exit at Northgate and transfer to a Lynnwood-bound 1 Line train.

From 11 p.m. to the end of service, all trains at Shoreline South Station will serve the Federal Way-bound side of the platform.
