Executive Zahilay transmits legislation to expand Metro bus service and strengthen Link light rail connections in South King County

This week, King County Executive Girmay Zahilay transmitted legislation to the King County Council proposing major updates to Metro bus service across South King County as part of the multi-year South Link Connections project.

The proposal builds on the recent opening of the Kent-Des Moines, Star Lake, and Federal Way Downtown Link light rail stations and would create a more connected, reliable transit network serving Algona, Auburn, Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, Normandy Park, Pacific, SeaTac, Tukwila, and nearby unincorporated areas.

If approved, the new service would launch as part of Metro’s August 2026 service change.

Learn more about proposal on the Metro Matters blog.
