Don't displace Casino Road residents. Build a better Everett Link instead.

Sound Transit

Sound Transit is studying several routes for the future Everett Link train, all of which could potentially displace residents along Casino Road. We call on Sound Transit to study another route along I-5 for the trains that will be more affordable and have more riders, and to instead serve Casino Road with better bus service.

We fear Sound Transit's proposed routes of the Everett Link transit will displace the residents of Casino Road.

We call on Sound Transit to study a different alignment for the Everett Link transit route that follows I-5 and adds a station at Everett Mall.

To improve transit service to Casino Road residents and to serve Boeing and Paine Field, the Swift Green Line Bus should be enhanced and extended from Seaway Transit Center to Everett Mall.

With light rail along I-5 and improved bus service to Casino Road, the Everett Link project will be less expensive, will get built on time, will have higher ridership, and will do more to address climate change.

If light rail is to be built through the Casino Road area, we urge Sound Transit and the City of Everett to create and fund a strong affordable housing plan to ensure no net loss of housing that is affordable to all of the residents who live here today.
