Tips for riding Swift – Mill Creek stations and Ash Way Park & Ride
You can ride the Swift Orange Line starting Saturday! Riders should be prepared for unique situations at a few stations:
Mill Creek Blvd westbound station construction continues
The Swift Orange Line station at Mill Creek Blvd (westbound) on 164th St SE is not open yet. Construction will continue for several weeks.
Riders should board the Swift Orange Line at the temporary stop located 500 feet to the west of the station. For riders using this temporary stop, please tap your ORCA card or pay at the ticket vending machine at the station where you get of the bus.
Ensure you get on the right Swift Line bus traveling in the right direction
Ash Way Park & Ride
At the Swift Orange Line station at Ash Way Park & Ride, riders traveling west towards Edmonds College and east towards McCollum Park will board at the same station.
Use the overhead sign at the station to check when your bus is coming. The sign indicates the direction of travel and when the bus will arrive. Pictured right is a sign at the 196th St Swift Station, for example.

When the bus arrives, check the headsign on the front of the bus above the windshield:
If you’re traveling east, the head sign will alternate, showing, "Swift Orange Line" and "McCollum Park."
