Transit Fare Holiday

Metro, Sound Transit, Kitsap Transit, and the Seattle Streetcars will be free July 11-12 (Monday and Tuesday) fo the All-Star Week baseball tournament. This includes Link, Sounder, buses, streetcars, the King County Water Taxi, and the Kitsap Fast Ferry. Other agencies are not participating (i.e., not Community Transit, Pierce Transit, the Monorail, or Washington State Ferries). The linked announcement page has a short video message by King County Executive Dow Constantine.

Link will run every 8 minutes all day July 8 (Saturday), 10 (Monday), and 11 (Tuesday). Enjoy a taste of more-frequent service. Sounder will have extra runs on the 10th and 11th. Metro's fareboxes and ORCA readers will be covered. Sound Transit's readers will be adjusted to charge zero if you tap.

Update: Metro has a downtown map with more information. Metro has extra service July 7-11 on routes C, D, E, H, 7, 36, 101, 150, and 255. ST Express has extra service on routes 522, 545, 550, and 554. Route 21 will be rerouted to 4th Ave S after events on July 8, 10, and 11.
