 The Great Recession of the late 2000s and subsequent loss of an estimated $ 180 million ( equivalent to $ 195 million in 2016 ) in sales tax revenue in Snohomish County forced CT to cut service by 15 percent in June 2010 , including the elimination of all service on Sundays and major holidays , to save $ 16 million ( equivalent to $ 17 @.@ 4 million in 2016 ) until 2012 . A second cut , with 20 percent of service eliminated , took place in February 2012 ; the CT Board rejected a major restructure that would have truncated its northern and eastern express service to Seattle at Lynnwood Transit Center during this cut , instead opting to preserve its commuter service . Despite the decline in service hours , Community Transit and Sound Transit had record ridership for Snohomish County routes during the Super Bowl XLVIII parade in Downtown Seattle in February 2014 , carrying a total of 22 @,@ 500 passengers on 50 extra trips into Seattle . In March , the 2014 Oso mudslide destroyed a portion of State Route 530 and forced CT to re @-@ route its service to Darrington through Skagit County , offering one @-@ seat service to Smokey Point and Everett Station in the interim as Route 231 . The partial reopening of State Route 530 in June and full reopening in September restored the original Route 230 on its original route , now extended to Smokey Point .
