I’ve been watching the buildings going up on Ash Way just of the freeway in Lynnwood. Earlier this week, I finally drove past. My God, these things are huge! 5 floors of apartments above several levels of parking. And several building; 7, 8… just couldn’t look closely enough. But a huge number of apartments are about to hit the market there.
There are a number of other developments coming on along 164th in North Lynnwood (unincorporated Snohomish County), too. This should make that area, with its already sluggish traffic, even more joyous.
My hope is the proximity to two Park and Ride lots will divert some of that traffic. And their closeness to shopping, too, might impact that. Yet, we must expect traffic along that stretch to become even more congested. I guess the main solution will simply be avoidance combined with tolerance. Perhaps.
