Prices
The Lynnwood Link opening created a big shift in light rail fares, going from a structure based on distance traveled to a flat fare per ride. This will mean Link riders with an ORCA card will no longer need to “tap off” at the end of their ride.
One-way adult fares are $3
Youth ride free
Orca card is the easiest way to pay for a ride
