Swift Green Line Grand Opening Celebration, March 24


In honor of our Swift Green Line opening this week, we are celebrating "Green Week" with a series of stories about our Swift service.

If you’ve been wondering where you could take a selfie looking like you’re driving a Community Transit bus, check out some cool student transit art, and witness an historic Snohomish County public transportation milestone, look no further.

Join us for the official launch of the Swift Green Line Sunday, March 24, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at McCollum Park on 128th Street. We’re throwing a free public celebration with music, food trucks, Swift cookies, caricatures and more. Yes, Swift cookies!




KIRO 7’s Tracy Taylor will emcee the event. Speakers include Congressman Rick Larsen, State Senator Marko Liias, Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers, Snohomish County Councilmember Terry Ryan, Edmonds Mayor Dave Earling and Community Transit CEO Emmett Heath.

The big event will be the launch of the first Swift Green Line bus, which will depart McCollum Park at noon. Regular service on the Swift Green Line will also start at noon from both ends of the route, Canyon Park and Seaway Transit Center.

Don’t try to catch a Swift Green Line bus before noon that day!

With two Swift lines running every 10 minutes weekdays, this will be a major improvement for transit travel in south Snohomish County. You can read more about the Swift Green Line, and its connection to the Blue Line at Airport Road & Highway 99 at www.communitytransit,org/SwiftGreen.

Community Transit is making other service changes this coming week, especially to routes serving Boeing. Check out those changes at www.communitytransit.org/NewService.

See you on Sunday!
