Sound Transit light rail trains now run through central Seattle every four minutes at peak times.
Why it matters: The updated schedule doubles train frequency between Lynnwood and Seattle's Chinatown–International District, cutting wait times for riders.
Zoom in: The added service comes as Sound Transit tests new trains that will eventually carry riders from Lynnwood to the Eastside.
While Line 2 service across Lake Washington won't open until March 28, riders now can board the test trains along the stretch that overlaps with existing Line 1.
The increased train frequency will continue along that stretch once the new East Link service is fully operational.
Yes, but: If you're headed farther south, you'll need to transfer at the Chinatown–International District stop.
Line 2 trains don't continue to south Seattle or Federal Way.
