REMINDER: Mariners have day game on Tuesday


The Seattle Mariners will close out their home series against the Kansas City Royals with a day game on Tuesday, April 15. The game starts at 3:40 p.m., and could result in traffic congestion when it is over. Also, bus passengers who are traveling through the downtown area in the early evening on Tuesday may experience some reroutes and delays in transit service.

Fans using Metro service to and from the game are reminded there will be no special service in the afternoon to Safeco Field, because there is plenty of regular Metro bus service in the area at that time. After the game, there is special service to 13 outlying park-and-ride lots. The fare for special buses is $3 each way.

See Metro Online for all the Mariners service details

Pony up for trips to Emerald Downs

For the next two weekends – April 19-20 and April 26-27 – Metro Transit will provide special service to horse racing at Emerald Downs in Auburn.

Metro’s Pony Express bus leaves from Second Avenue and Lenora Street in Seattle at 12:47 p.m. - makes a few more stops downtown - and is at the racetrack by 1:30 p.m. The return trip leaves 15 minutes after the last race.

The fare is $2 cash, one-way only. Metro’s Visitor Pass is accepted on the Pony Express, all other passes and transfers are not accepted or issued by the Pony Express at any time.

See Metro Online for more details.

King County hosts Klahanie pedestrian safety meeting

King County’s Road Services Division is hosting a drop-in open house about potential pedestrian safety improvements on Klahanie Drive Southeast/Southeast Klahanie Boulevard.

The open house will be held Tuesday, April 29, from 6:30-8 p.m. at Challenger Elementary School, 25200 SE Klahanie Blvd., Issaquah.

The first neighborhoods in Klahanie, a planned community of 11,000 residents, were built more than 20 years ago. The county is looking to update some of the existing crosswalks on the main thoroughfare through the community, and would like input from residents on the ideas and how to prioritize projects.
