 Bus Route 271 at the Evergreen State Fair
Extra Evening Trips From the Evergreen State Fair
Taking the bus is the easiest way to get to the Evergreen State Fair. This year, Community Transit has additional nighttime trips to help people get home after the Fair has closed. Whether you are seeking carnival rides, concerts, fair food and fun, or you are working at the Fair, we can get you there, and back.
The Evergreen State Fair runs from August 22 through September 2 at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe. Routes 270 and 271 (Gold Bar-Everett) will drop you off directly at the West Gate entrance, Monday through Friday. Route 271 serves the fairgrounds on weekends and Labor Day.

More Service, More Jobs
Community Transit is expanding bus service and ramping up its recruitment efforts to meet the growing transportation needs of the communities we serve. We’re hiring bus drivers, mechanics and administrative positions.
On July 30, King 5 News featured Community Transit in a story about our need for drivers. With such a tight job market in the region we are looking for people who are considering making a career change. The story features a new employee that made the leap from a desk job to becoming a bus driver.
We continue to graduate new bus drivers every few weeks. To see job opportunities available at Community Transit, visit www.communitytransit.org/Jobs.
