On Sept. 14, Community Transit will make major changes to bus service, and riders will have more travel options in Snohomish County. One of these changes includes eliminating some routes and replacing them with new route options, which will help with more reliable bus service in your area.

Route 105 (Mariner Park & Ride/Hardeson Road - Bothell) will be eliminated and replaced with other bus routes. If you currently ride Route 105, you will take a new route to reach your destination starting Sept. 14.  

Your new route options

Route 105 is being replaced by Routes 103, 106, 120, and Swift Green Line. 

  • Starting in Everett at the north end of Route 105, riders can travel south on the new Route 103 (Seaway/Hardeson - Lynnwood), which will also serve stops on Hardeson Rd and 75th St.
  • Continuing south towards Bothell, riders can take Swift Green Line between Seaway Transit Center, Mill Creek, and Canyon Park. Swift Green Line provides a faster and more frequent ride in these areas than Route 105, although there are fewer stops.
  • In Bothell, riders can use either Route 106 or Route 120 for travel along Bothell Way to UW Bothell/Cascadia College. Riders can also use Route 120 to connect to light rail at the Lynnwood City Center Station.
