Metro News
Peak weekday routes 16, 232, 237, 301, 304 and 320 will be suspended through August 4
 King County Metro will continue to suspend peak weekday routes 16, 232, 237, 301, 304 and 320 through Aug. 4 due to ongoing staff and bus availability. Some individual weekday bus trips also are canceled. Riders have alternatives available during these suspensions (listed below) and we will provide regular updates to keep you informed about your transit service and options.
Metro continues to shift buses among its seven bases to make repairs and maintain trip reliability across the county. Metro continues to train and hire bus operators and mechanics to deliver buses and transit services to your bus stop. Due to ongoing bus and staff availability challenges, summer service is likely to remain in the ongoing 95% range – providing more than 10,600-weekday trips – for several weeks while we repair and restore bus fleet for service. We encourage you to sign up to receive transit alerts as intermittent trip cancellations or route suspensions can occur.

Lynnwood Link Connections survey now open!
 We’ve reached the third and final phase of planning the Lynnwood Link Connections project. New Link light rail opens in 2024, meaning more public transit for northwest King and south Snohomish counties. Metro is working with Sound Transit and Community Transit, among other partners, to coordinate bus routes based on community feedback.
That means now is the perfect time to help shape the future of bus service in North Seattle, Shoreline, Mountlake Terrace, Lake Forest Park, Bothell and Kenmore. Review our proposal and take the survey before August 27 to make your voice heard. Learn more. The deadline to complete the survey is August 27.
The following routes were explored for potential changes as part of the project.
Metro routes: 5, 16X, 20, 28, 45, 64, 65, 67, 73, 75, 301, 302, 303, 304, 320, 322, 330, 331, 345, 346, 347, 348, 372, and ST 522
We have several virtual open houses on Lynnwood Link Connections as well.

Festivals Ahoy! Ride the Water Taxi to the Vashon Strawberry Festival and West Seattle Summer Fest
It’s festival weekend for Vashon and West Seattle and the King County Water Taxi is here to help you enjoy it.
This weekend, Vashon is going to be the center of the strawberry universe, with its annual Strawberry Festival. In West Seattle the music, food and booths wait for you in the Junction during the West Seattle Summer Fest!
 Starting at 9 a.m. the Water Taxi will make hourly trips from our Pier 50 terminal in downtown Seattle over to Vashon, with the last Water Taxi trip leaving for Vashon at 6 p.m. The return trips to Pier 50 will run every hour on the half hour beginning at 9:30 a.m. and concluding with the 6:30 p.m. sailing to Seattle.
When you get off the Vashon Water Taxi, hop on the King County Metro Route 118 to get to the festival. Additional trips will be added on Saturday to supplement the existing Saturday schedule. Route 118 will be rerouted in the Vashon Town Center due to street closures – refer to Metro’s Service Advisories webpage for details.
West Seattle Water Taxi
The fun in the West Seattle Junction starts Friday, July 14 and runs through Sunday, July 16. Three days of live music, arts and crafts booths, food and all the shops and restaurants along the West Seattle Junction.
The West Seattle Water Taxi sails late on Friday and Saturday, so you can ride over, spend the day, and ride the free Water Taxi Shuttle (Route 773) from the Junction back to Seacrest Dock. You also have the option of returning downtown from the Junction on the RapidRide C Line.
