Sounders FC and Seattle Mariners fans can bypass gridlock this weekend by riding Sound Transit’s Sounder event trains to the Sounders FC match Saturday and Mariners game Sunday.

Riders attending the Sounders FC 2 p.m. match against New York City FC can take the train from Lakewood at 11:15 a.m. The train from Everett will depart at 11:45 a.m. Return trains depart King Street Station 35 minutes after the match.

On Sunday, Mariners fans can take Sounder to the 1:10 p.m. game against the Saint Louis Cardinals. The stadium-bound train from the south will depart Lakewood at 10:45 a.m. The stadium-bound train from the north will depart Everett at 11:15 a.m. Return trains depart King Street Station 35 minutes after the game.

A complete schedule of Sounder service to select Sounders FC and Mariners games this season is available at soundtransit.org/schedules/event-services.

Special Sounder service is in addition to regular Link light rail service to and from CenturyLink and Safeco fields. Link runs every 10 minutes on weekends and serves 15 stations including the University of Washington, Capitol Hill, downtown Seattle, SODO, Beacon Hill, Rainier Valley, Tukwila and SeaTac. Link’s Stadium and International District stations are a short walk from the stadiums.

Many ST Express and King County Metro buses also drop off passengers near the stadium. Link and ST Express bus schedules are available at soundtransit.org/schedule. King County Metro bus schedules can be found at metro.kingcounty.gov/schedules/.

Regular fares apply for all Sound Transit services. Getting an ORCA card is a great way to skip lines at ticket vending machines. Cards only cost $5 for adults, plus whatever amount a rider chooses to load in the card’s E-purse or the cost of a pass that is good for unlimited transit trips. ORCA works on trains, buses and ferries throughout the region. More information is available at orcacard.com.
