Over the past few weeks, major construction projects have started which will significantly impact Lynnwood. In particular, there are three large multi-family projects in process. 1) The CityCenter apartments on 196th & 36th, right across from the Convention Center, 2) the Lynnwood CityCenter Senior Living Apartments just north of 196th on 40th, 3) Lynnwood Place, next to where the new Costco is going and the 4), another round of apartments across Alderwood Mall Boulevard from the Alderwood Fred Meyer. Lots of construction, lots of new people, and with that, cars. This is the most concerning piece. Traffic around Lynnwood will be getting dramatically heavier over the next few months.
In most respects, I think the coming changes are positive. I like the mixed-use design that’s been incorporate and am looking forward to seeing the new businesses that rise up to support our new neighbors. But there are some costs, and it’s best to be prepared.
What do you think? Are there issues I’m missing? Let me know!
