FREE Community Transit Seminar and Bus Ride for Seniors

• Tired of the traffic and cost of parking?
• Want to use public transportation now that the Link Light Rail has opened in Lynnwood?

Perhaps you don’t know how or just don’t feel comfortable yet using public transportation. Let’s change that!

Join us for a comprehensive workshop designed just for you!

What to Expect

• 30-Minute Presentation: We will meet at the Mukilteo Y to learn the basics of riding transit, including how to get started, plan your trip, and ride the bus confidently.
• Bus Ride to Lynnwood City Center Station: After the presentation, we’ll board a special transportation bus (no general riders) and head to Lynnwood City Center Station.
• Visit the RideStore: Get your Senior reduced-fare ORCA card if you’re 65+ and don’t have one yet!
• Walking Tour: Explore Lynnwood City Center Station, where you’ll learn how to transfer between the bus and Link Light Rail.
• Important Notes: If you already have an ORCA card, please bring it! Everyone will receive a free pass for unlimited rides on all regional transit providers—your existing ORCA card number will be needed. This event aims to empower you to utilize public transportation with confidence.

Please give at least a 48-hour notification should you need to cancel your registration so that someone on the wait list may attend.

The Driftwood Players Present: A Fox on the Fairway – The Play

This performance is a tribute to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s, A Fox on the Fairway takes audiences on a hilarious romp while pulling the rug out from underneath the stuffiness of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors and over-the-top romantic shenanigans, it’s a furiously paced comedy that recalls the Marx Brothers’ classics. A charmingly madcap adventure about love, life and man’s eternal love affair with… golf.
