Everett Transit and Community Transit Restart Annexation Talks

Community Transit and the City of Everett announced this week they’re restarting talks to annex Everett Transit into Community Transit, potentially doubling transit funding and service in Everett. If approved by both the Everett City Council and Community Transit board this fall, the local sales tax for transit would increase from 0.6% to 1.2%, enabling more frequent bus routes and extended evening service. While this affects the broader Puget Sound region, it has minimal direct impact on Burien, which is served by King County Metro.
