Light Rail Expansion
Let Your Voice Be Heard
The next phase of the light rail expansion in the Puget Sound area is coming to Everett. Currently, one of the proposed routes would "displace" Sonrise from it's current location. As a church family, we are encouraging everyone to go to the in-person community meetings and respectfully make our voices heard. Below you will find some helpful information, contacts and PDF's that will help you understand the situation and give some pointers on what to communicate in the community meetings.
