As the greater Seattle region continues to grow and remote work becomes increasingly common, what can our neighbors in the suburbs look forward to when it comes to transportation accessibility? And are their concerns being addressed?

Join Seattle CityClub for our second in-person Civic Boot Camp on Transportation Accessibility on Friday, April 14, 2023 from 1:00 pm to 4:30 p.m. During this gathering, local experts will discuss regional connectivity from the north end – including Snohomish and King counties –to downtown Seattle, featuring representatives from Sound Transit, King County Metro, and Community Transit.

Attendees will gain valuable insights about how these agencies are working to meet the needs of commuters and transit riders. During this program, you will be able to explore Northgate and Lynnwood transit center construction (including a bus ride to and from Lynnwood) and discover how your transit agencies are collaborating to create a more seamless, accessible transportation system.

  • Kevin Futhey, Community Transportation Specialist, Community Transit
  • Luke Distelhorst, Community Engagement Planner, King County Metro
