Until April 23, trains will run: - Approximately every 12 minutes between Lynnwood–Westlake and Stadium–Angle Lake stations. - Every 25–30 minutes between Westlake–Stadium stations. All trains will share the northbound platform at Symphony, Pioneer Square, and International District/Chinatown stations. Riders must transfer at Westlake and Stadium for continued light rail service. After reaching these stations, downtown Seattle passengers are encouraged to use the local bus service. 🔗 in bio for more details. #SoundTransit #ServiceAlert Video description: Sound Transit employee Henry walks around Westlake Station, showing the temporary signage and personnel who can help riders get where they need to go during this 1 Line service disruption.

reel icon Opening May 10: Stations that are shady — in the best way. 😎🌳 When designing transit facilities, we choose trees, plants, and vegetation that do more than look good — they create habitat for birds and pollinators, and work with systems like infiltration ponds to manage stormwater naturally. Strategic tree planting = cooler plazas, more wildlife, and a greener ride. 💚 Learn more about our newest stations in Redmond at the link in our bio! #HelloRedmond #2Line #SoundTransit #EarthMonth

Captain Bagspreader: The monster who thinks empty seats are perfect for bags.  We know, your bag is your bestie, but guess what? The seat next to you is made for sitting, not storing. Keep it free for someone who needs it. If your bag’s feeling lonely, just tuck it under the seat! Be mindful. Not a Monster.
reel icon High fives all around! ✋✨ We got a behind-the-scenes look at the reinstall of Hi-Five by kinetic artist and sculptor Miles Pepper at Federal Way Downtown Station. This beloved public art piece is back—refreshed, reimagined, and ready to welcome riders when the station opens. We only caught the first hand going up… so you’ll have to visit the finished station to catch the full greeting. Hi-Five will be visible from the platform, plaza, and surrounding streets. Watch to hear from both the artist himself and Ashley Long, STart program manager for this project.
