Transit Alert – Transit service will be rerouted off 1st Av S in Pioneer Square prior to and during Thursday’s Seahawks game; expect delays

On Thursday, August 29, from 4:00 PM through 8:00 PM, some southbound transit service in the Pioneer Square area will be rerouted off of 1st Av S in the Pioneer Square area to avoid Seahawks pre-game traffic.

During this time southbound buses heading toward West Seattle and Burien will not serve the stop on 1 Av S between S King St and Railroad Av S.

Northbound SR 99 service heading into Seattle is expected to operate via normal routes and stops with delays likely before the game
