Community input helps determine recommended stations

Community Transit is expanding the Swift bus rapid transit (BRT) network by extending the Swift Green Line. The Swift Green Line Extension will create direct connections to two major destinations at downtown Bothell and UW Bothell/Cascadia College, as well as Sound Transit’s Stride S3 BRT line.

We gathered input from the community on the proposed station locations from Oct. 16 through Nov. 10, 2023. More than 600 people visited the  Swift Green Line Extension online open house to take the survey and leave comments on the map. Your input helped the project team determine the recommended station locations listed below and displayed on the map:

• Bothell Way NE and 228th St SE
• Bothell Way NE and 240 St SE
• Bothell Way NE and 201st Pl (potential future infill station)
• Bothell Way NE and Reder Way
• NE 185th St and 104th Ave NE (proposed Stride station shared with Swift)
• Beardslee Blvd at UW Bothell/Cascadia College (proposed Stride station shared with Swift)

Design and environmental review is underway. The timeline for the Swift Green Line Extension aligns with the City of Bothell’s Bothell Way NE Multimodal Project and the Sound Transit Stride S3 Line.

Coordinating construction with the Bothell Way project is more efficient and reduces overall costs. We anticipate you’ll be able to ride the Swift Green Line Extension starting between 2028 and 2031.
