Sound Transit will perform critical rail repairs at the International District/Chinatown Station from April 14–23, affecting 1 Line light rail service through downtown Seattle. Southbound service will be closed in the downtown tunnel, and trains will operate on a single northbound track. Riders should expect trains every 25–30 minutes between Westlake and Stadium stations and should plan for transfers. Learn more about the upcoming 1 Line construction impacts. 

Sound Transit is beginning early outreach on potential changes to ST Express bus service as part of the 2026 Service Plan. The agency is requesting public feedback on how services can better meet community needs as light rail continues to expand across the region. Riders can complete an online survey to share input through April 21. Learn more about the 2026 Service Plan and take the survey.
