Known more for its congested traffic and sprawling section of Highway 99, Lynnwood wants to move past that and create a downtown corridor that rivals other suburban Seattle cities - complete with skyscrapers and condos. Sound Transit's proposal to bring a light rail station to the area would fortify this dream and make it easier for residents and visitors to see and experience 21st Century Lynnwood.
In a way, this is a story that shouldn't need to be written...
From the early 1900s to 1939, the Interurban ran through Lynnwood - then known as "Alderwood Manor" - on its way from Seattle to Everett. If it was still running today, nearly 70 years after the tracks were pulled, Lynnwood residents would have a station within a mile of where the new one is proposed.
