Midweek Roundup: Seahawks Victory Parade

Massive gridlock and transit reroutes today as the Seahawks celebrate their second Super Bowl win; here's how to take transit to the victory parade. If you're local and want to go, strongly consider riding a bike instead.

Sound Transit's monthly maintenance program ended 1 Line service between Mount Baker and TIBS early last night (Feb. 10), and will do so again tomorrow night (Feb. 12, starting around 9:30pm). Maintenance planned for tonight (Feb. 11) was cancelled to accommodate the Seahawks parade and expectations of late-night revelry.
