Everett Transit seeks feedback on route changes

Published 5:30 am Friday, March 7, 2025

EVERETT — Everett Transit, set to implement changes to many of its south Everett routes by September, is looking for feedback from riders on its different route proposals.

Three options currently on the table would modify routes to increase connections with regional transit options, including the Seaway Transit Center, the South Everett Freeway Station, and the Mukilteo Ferry Terminal.

Two of the options would extend the city’s Route 3 bus to provide nonstop service from Everett Station to Paine Field. Other routes, like Route 8 which currently travels between Everett Station and the Seaway Transit Center, could be shortened or eliminated, with service replaced by other routes.

One option would introduce a new route, traveling between Seaway Transit Center, Paine Field and the South Everett Freeway Station, serving 112th Street.

The proposal is also considering expanding service to include New Year’s Day, 4th of July, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Three open houses are scheduled to discuss the new routes. Maps of the new routes can be viewed online, and comments can be submitted, at everetttransit.org/fall2025.
