The elevator at the westbound stop on SR 520 at the Yarrow Point Freeway Station continues to be out of service until further notice.

Westbound transit riders who require the use of an elevator can plan ahead to board or exit SR 520 transit service at the Evergreen Point Freeway Station instead. 

Additionally, the elevator at the eastbound Clyde Hill/Yarrow Point stop is not affected.  Westbound transit passengers who need to get to Clyde Hill/Yarrow Point can continue to the Evergreen Point Freeway Station and transfer to any eastbound bus to return to Clyde Hill/Yarrow Point and use the elevator at the eastbound stop.

Every effort is being made to restore the elevator as soon as possible.

Masks are recommended by public health authorities while on-board transit.
