 Community Transit and Everett Transit agreed to break away from SNOTRAN , which served as their planning and administrative body in addition to disbursing federal subsidies , after CT complained of a " lack of communication " between the three agencies . The county agency formally disbanded on December 31 , 1994 , replaced by the Joint Regional Policy Committee ( JRPC ) that formed four years prior to coordinate transit planning for the entire Puget Sound region . A regional transit agency was formed in 1993 under the JRPC , organizing a $ 6 @.@ 7 billion ( equivalent to $ 10 @.@ 4 billion in 2016 ) plan for regional transit that was put to a vote on March 14 , 1995 , failing to pass outside of Seattle , Mercer Island and Shoreline . The plan included a commuter rail line on the BNSF Scenic Subdivision between Everett , Mukilteo , Edmonds and King Street Station in Seattle , a light rail line from Lynnwood to Seattle following Interstate 5 , and express bus service to light rail stations . The following November , the smaller " Sound Move " plan was approved at a cost of $ 3 @.@ 9 billion ( equivalent to $ 5 @.@ 88 billion in 2016 ) , including commuter rail from Everett to Seattle and express buses on Interstate 5 from Everett and Lynnwood to Seattle and Bellevue .
