Life in Snohomish County
Living in Lynnwood
Lynnwood sits in south Snohomish County along I-5, between Seattle and Everett. Much of the city grew up around shopping centers and busy corridors like 196th Street SW and Highway 99, and the area around the light rail station is now filling in with apartments, shops, and new streets. West of Highway 99, the city turns quieter, with wooded parks and older single-family neighborhoods. Your commute, your neighborhood, and your school options all shape which Lynnwood rental fits you best.
Transit & Commuting
Getting Around
I-5 runs through the middle of Lynnwood, and I-405 begins just to the east, giving drivers direct routes to Seattle, Everett, and the Eastside. Sound Transit’s 1 Line ends at Lynnwood City Center Station, with trains running through Northgate and the University of Washington to downtown Seattle. Community Transit’s Swift Blue Line bus rapid transit runs along Highway 99, and the Swift Orange Line links the station with Edmonds College and Mill Creek. For walking and biking, the Interurban Trail runs 3.8 miles through the city on a path mostly separated from traffic.

Before You Search
What Renters Should Know
- City Center is still being built. New apartments and mixed-use projects continue to go up near the light rail station, so renters there should expect active job sites and street work nearby, with new inventory.
- Alderwood draws heavy traffic. The mall and the retail streets around it get busy on weekends and through the holiday season, so allow extra time if you live or commute near 196th Street SW and Alderwood Mall Boulevard.
- Transit is a strength. Light rail, Swift bus rapid transit, and Community Transit's local buses give renters several ways to get around without a car.
- Highway 99 is a busy commercial corridor. Homes near it are close to shops, restaurants, and the Swift Blue Line, while the streets a few blocks west are much quieter.

Things to Do in Lynnwood
Settling into Lynnwood or exploring a new part of town? Start with these local favorites.
Scriber Lake Park
Scriber Lake Park covers nearly 25 acres of lake, ponds, wetlands, and forest near the center of the city. Its elevated boardwalk trail carries walkers out over the wetlands, which makes it an easy nature walk for renters in City Center and South Lynnwood.
Lynndale Park
Lynnwood’s largest park, Lynndale Park keeps about 22 acres of native forest alongside athletic fields, tennis and basketball courts, a skate park, and an off-leash dog area. Its forest amphitheater hosts Shakespeare in the Park in summer, a short walk for renters in west Lynnwood.
Interurban Trail
The Interurban Trail follows the route of the electric railway that ran between Seattle and Everett from 1910 to 1939. Lynnwood’s 3.8-mile section is a 12-foot-wide path, mostly separated from traffic, that renters use for walking, running, and bike commuting.
Lynnwood Recreation Center
The Lynnwood Recreation Center is a public facility with no membership or joining fee. Its recreation pool has water slides, a lazy river, and a water playground, and the lap pool area adds a sauna and a warm-water therapy pool, so families and lap swimmers both have a place to swim year-round.
Alderwood
Alderwood is one of the region’s larger shopping centers, with department stores, restaurants, and entertainment in one place. It sits just east of I-5, close enough for everyday errands from most Lynnwood neighborhoods.
