Local Knowledge Matters
The opening of the Mountlake Terrace light rail station has significantly changed traffic patterns in the city, with increased vehicle and pedestrian activity around the transit center and the 236th Street SW corridor. I-5 runs through the heart of Mountlake Terrace and is a consistent source of serious crashes, particularly at the 220th Street SW and 236th Street SW interchanges. The 44th Avenue W and 56th Avenue W corridors handle significant local traffic connecting Mountlake Terrace to Lynnwood and Edmonds. The Interurban Trail, a popular cycling and walking route, intersects with multiple vehicle traffic corridors, creating safety risks wherever recreational users and cars meet.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my injury involved the light rail station or a Sound Transit vehicle?
Claims against Sound Transit or other government entities have much shorter notice requirements than standard personal injury claims, sometimes as little as 60 days. Call or text Foster Law immediately at (425) 971-5400 if a government entity may be involved.
I was hit by a car while using the Interurban Trail. What are my rights?
If a vehicle struck you at a trail crossing the driver's negligence is likely the primary basis for your claim. If poor trail maintenance or inadequate signage contributed a government entity may also bear responsibility. Call us for a free evaluation.
