Thanksgiving holiday bus service
Buses will operate on a reduced weekday schedule on the Friday after Thanksgiving, Nov. 23; and some commuter routes will be cancelled, along with selected trips on routes serving the University District. On Friday, some buses in downtown Seattle will be rerouted all day to avoid the big holiday parade in the morning and the tree lighting event in the evening. The rerouting mostly affects buses traveling on Pine Street, Fourth Avenue and Fifth Avenue. Metro customer service offices will be closed on both days. For all the details on holiday transit service, visit Metro Online. Huskies host 100th Apple Cup Saturday
A huge crowd is expected for this rivalry. Riding the bus to Husky Stadium is a convenient and free alternative to dealing with the hassles of driving and parking. The Huskies will be offering free Metro service to the stadium. In addition to regular bus service to and from Montlake campus, there is also special shuttle service between the stadium and eight park-and-ride lots: Shoreline; Northgate Transit Center; Houghton; Kingsgate; South Kirkland; Eastgate; South Renton; and Federal Way. Just show your game ticket or ticket stub for a free ride on regular bus service or the special shuttles. Check out Metro Online for all the details. Seattle Marathon could disrupt Sunday travel
On Sunday, Nov. 25, running of the Seattle Marathon will result in
street closures, traffic delay, and reroutes of some transit service
along its course. The race involves closure of the express lanes on the
Interstate 90 Bridge for several hours. The complete course, schedule
and event information is available
online.
The nutcracker sponsored by Metro has already been a big hit, winning the “people’s choice” award. It is located near the Westlake Station in the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel. It is appropriately titled “Riding the Magic Carpet.” The colorful statue was designed by Star Design Studio, and all the painting and detail work was done by Metro’s own Paint Shop. |
