Other

Community Transit and Pierce Transit are on regular SATURDAY schedule.

Everett Transit is on SUNDAY schedule and all routes are free (no fares!). Routes 3, 6, 7, 19, and 29 will be rerouted in downtown Everett until 1pm for the July Fourth Parade.

Everett has four events today. The parade starts at 11 am, with shuttle buses from Everett Station to the parade route. A festival is 3pm-10:45pm at Legion Memorial Park, with shuttle buses from Everett Community College. I attended the festival last year, and I'd recommend visiting the botanical garden in the park. Fireworks start at 10:15pm on the river. The fourth event is a $20 live music evening party at a waterfront hotel.

Kitsap Transit is on SATURDAY schedule for the same reason as above.

The Seattle Center Monorail and Washington State Ferries are on SATURDAY schedule. Trailhead Direct will operate.

Bainbridge Island has a parade at 1pm and a classic car show 9am-5pm, within walking distance of the ferry terminal. The Bainbridge Saturday shuttle will not operate July 4th.

Sunday

All is a normal SUNDAY schedule.

Sounder South and North have a baseball special run.

Monday

The last World Cup match in Seattle is at 5 pm. The usual extra match day transit will be running.

Update 7/3 9:30pm: RapidRide C and H and Metro route 21 will be rerouted to 4th Ave S between 2-4pm due to the closure of part of Alaskan Way for the US fans' march to Seattle Stadium. The Waterfront Shuttle will move to 3rd Avenue south of Wall Street while the march is ongoing. This means there will be no bus service at the ferry terminal or aquarium or Alaskan & Jackson then.

Things to Do

If you're looking for something else to do this weekend, you could take the Golden Gardens Direct shuttle to the beach, or the Waterfront Shuttle to the Seattle waterfront. I'm going to Kubota Garden on the 106.
