Link Excuse of the Week: ADA Is Having a Birthday Party @ Westlake Wednesday Afternoon

It is almost 25 years to the day since the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law. Fans of the ADA are throwing a big birthday party a few days early. So, where better to throw that party than Westlake Park, right next to Westlake Station? And when better to throw that party than 4-6 pm in the middle of rush hour on a Wednesday afternoon?

Downtown traffic is expected to be significantly impacted, so Link Light Rail, or any of the tunnel buses (41, 71, 72, 73, 74 - outbound only, 76 - outbound only, 77 - outbound only, 101, 102 - outbound only, 106, 150, 216 - outbound only, 218 - outbound only, 219 - outbound only, 255, 316 - outbound only, and ST Express 550), are your best bet for getting in and out of downtown quickly. There will also be shuttles to and from Westlake.

King County Metro has an accessibility map of downtown you may wish to peruse ahead of time. (Hint: It is not seamless.)
