Sound Transit may add overnight bus service between Everett, Seattle
EVERETT — Changes to Sound Transit’s express bus service could introduce new overnight buses along its Link light rail route, filling a late-night gap in service for the regional transit agency.
Currently, transit users looking to get from downtown Seattle to Snohomish County need to catch the final train just before 1 a.m. on most nights. Otherwise, they’re out of luck. The same goes for travelers looking to travel from Snohomish County to an early flight at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport — the earliest Southbound Link light rail trains typically leave the Lynnwood station around 5 a.m. most mornings.
Although the exact times of night the buses may run and how frequent they may be is still to be determined, the new bus connection could remedy the existing gap in service during late-night hours, allowing people to travel freely between Seattle and Everett at all times of the day. Another overnight bus route, traveling from downtown Seattle to Federal Way with stops at the Sea-Tac airport, is also planned for implementation in 2026.
The proposed overnight service is also dependent on operational capacity at Sound Transit’s partner agencies, and could be partially implemented or deferred, the agency wrote.
