HEADS UP
Parking changes coming to Mountlake Transit Center
The transit center’s surface lot will close Saturday night, replaced by an interim lot about a half-mile away in downtown Mountlake Terrace at the the former site of Roger’s Market Place on 56th Avenue West.
The transit center garage will remain open. Sound Transit is providing a shuttle service between the lot and the transit center, which the agency said will run at least every 10 minutes.
