Routing
For the North Link project, the tunnel already under construction for University Link will continue north to the University District and the Roosevelt neighborhoods before emerging at the surface along I-5 near NE 85th Street to serve the elevated Northgate station.
Sound Transit is preparing to extend mass transit from Northgate to Lynnwood, which voters approved as part of the Sound Transit 2 Plan in 2008, along with funding to continue planning future service all the way to Everett. This project is known as the North Corridor High Capacity Transit (HCT) Project.
