Come celebrate with us at the Swift Orange Line Block Party! It's our way of saying thanks to all the businesses and residents who've been patient during the construction of our newest bus rapid transit (BRT) line, linking south county communities with speedy, frequent bus service.

Join the fun on Saturday, March 30, from 12 to 3 p.m. at Edmonds College. And getting there? Easy – hop on the (Swift) bus!

Whether you're a transit fan, food lover, or just looking for a good time, save the date because this is an event you won't want to miss!

There will be food! Triton Taste, Flyin Taco, GoodBelly, and Dreamy Drinks food trucks will serve up their tasty treats just for you. From savory to sweet, we've got something to satisfy every craving.

There will be fun! We've got loads of free activities lined up to keep everyone entertained:

  • Get creative with face painting, balloon art, and temporary Henna tattoos.
  • Challenge your pals to yard games or kick back and enjoy live music.
  • Capture the moment with hand-drawn portraits.
  • Look out for characters and superheroes from your favorite stories.

There will be friends

We're thrilled to welcome a diverse lineup of esteemed organizations to the Swift Orange Line Block Party. It's your chance to connect with your community while having a blast. Plus, join in our special passport activity to win some cool prizes!

Connect with our community partners:

Plus, all attendees will receive a commemorative ORCA card as a token of the day's festivities. In addition to being a keepsake, this ORCA card is good wherever the ORCA card is accepted for fare payment (the Washington Ferry system is not included). Enjoy unlimited rides through April 30, 2024! We suggest registering your card at MyORCA.com so you can load the card after April 30 to use anytime.

So, gather your friends and family, and join us for a day of fun, food, and community spirit at the Swift Orange Line Block Party. We can't wait to see you there!
