Lynnwood is a city in Snohomish County, Washington, situated within the Seattle metropolitan area, approximately 16 miles north of Seattle. As a coastal-adjacent community in the Pacific Northwest, Lynnwood serves as a landing point for one submarine cable connecting it to the broader submarine cable network of the United States. That cable, Alaska United East, establishes a domestic corridor along the western and northern reaches of the country.
The single cable landing at Lynnwood links the city to other points within the United States, making this an intra-national rather than intercontinental terminus. Alaska United East, as its name suggests, is oriented toward connecting Alaska with the contiguous United States, and Lynnwood represents one node in that domestic submarine corridor.
Alaska United East (AU-East) is a submarine cable with a length of 3,751 km, reaching ready-for-service status in 1999. The cable connects landing points within the United States, linking Lynnwood, WA, to other domestic locations, including Alaskan destinations. It carries the designation "draft" in its current status. At 3,751 km, Alaska United East is a substantial domestic cable, and its 1999 RFS year places it among the earlier generation of submarine cable infrastructure serving the Pacific Northwest and Alaska corridor.
Within the United States, Lynnwood, WA, hosts a single submarine cable, placing it at the lower end of the cable-count spectrum among domestic landing points. By comparison, sites such as Boca Raton, FL, and San Juan, PR, each host eight cables, while Hermosa Beach, CA, Kapolei, HI, and Myrtle Beach, SC, each host five. Lynnwood's single-cable profile reflects its role as a specialized domestic terminus rather than a broad international gateway.
Lynnwood, WA, functions as a single-cable terminus, with Alaska United East forming its sole submarine connection. The cable enables domestic connectivity between the Pacific Northwest and other points within the United States, most notably serving the Alaska corridor. This positions Lynnwood as a geographically specific node rather than a multi-cable hub, with its role defined by the northward domestic route that Alaska United East provides.
In the broader United States submarine cable graph, which spans 113 cables across 160 landing points, Lynnwood represents a focused point of presence that supports intra-national connectivity along a route where terrestrial alternatives may be limited. Its place in the network is shaped entirely by the Alaska United East cable, making it a single-purpose landing point within one of the country's most geographically distinctive domestic submarine corridors.
