Snohomish County: Light Rail Community (LRC) Zone

Snohomish County is developing a new Light Rail Community (LRC) zone to support high-density, transit-oriented development around future light rail stations. This initiative began after voters approved the Sound Transit 3 measure in 2016, leading to planning efforts that included public outreach in 2020-2021 and integration with the 2024 Comprehensive Plan Update. The draft LRC zone regulations are currently under review, with a public comment period running from February 1st to March 14th, 2025.
