Sounder Service and Cash Shuttles Return for Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks kick off their home season Sunday, September 27. Cash shuttles, $4 each way, will run from Eastgate Park & Ride, South Kirkland Park & Ride, and Northgate Transit Center to 6th & Weller (next to International District / Chinatown Station) before each weekend game, and return after the game. (The pre-season games were both on weekdays, so there were no shuttles.) Sound Transit Express 554, Metro route 255, and Metro route 41 also run between these three locations and ID/C Station, for $2.50 each way, but less frequently than the shuttles. The shuttles will not be available for the Monday night game.
