Attention riders! Service Change March 18-20
Several Routes, N Line & S Line
Sound Transit’s annual Spring Service Change will take effect the weekend of March 18-20. We’ll be introducing several service changes, including changes on two ST Express routes that will make a significant difference to riders.
Beginning on Monday, March 20, we’re replacing ST Express 511 with all-day ST Express 512 service between Everett Station and Northgate Station. This change improves schedule reliability and creates more transfer opportunities to the 1 Line at Northgate Station.
The other change will be to ST Express 586 beginning on Monday, March 20. This route will now use Bay 2 at the Federal Way Transit Center when traveling northbound to University District. Southbound to Tacoma will remain at Bay 5.
We have some changes to Sounder as well. Sounder S Line will receive schedule adjustments to trains #1505 (7:55 a.m., Seattle Departure) and #1518 (10:11 a.m., Lakewood Departure). These changes will go into effect on Monday, March 20.
Now that Amtrak has restored two Cascades Trains, Sounder N Line passengers will have more options at Everett, Edmonds and Seattle through the Rail Plus programs. Learn more about Rail Plus here.

Link light rail
We are installing the Fare Paid Zone in the four Downtown Tunnel Stations, Westlake, University St., Pioneer Square, and International District stations. Work will take place at the Westlake Station between March 20th and March 23rd. This will require that the ORCA validators be removed from the platforms and some TVMS will be relocated. The work will help define the Fare Paid Zone and will help communicate to riders where they must pay their fare.
ORCA validators will be relocated and grouped together at the entrances to provide numerous opportunities to validate their fare, prior to entry to the station. During this time, some equipment will be out, alternate TVMS and ORCA readers will be available for rider use.
Updates will be provided as work progresses.
Masks are recommended by public health authorities while on-board transit.
Beginning Sunday February 26, 1 Line tracks will be undergoing four weeks of rail grinding maintenance work. The rail grinding activity will take place overnight from 11:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m., beginning at the Northgate Station and continuing south.
Passengers, businesses, and residents may experience noisy conditions during this process. Observers should expect to see localized sparks near the rail-grinding equipment. This is a normal part of the rail-grinding process, which is necessary to maintain rails in a safe state free of defects and degradation
After 11:00 p.m., passengers may experience brief delays as trains single-track around the affected bore and track segment.
Single tracking may cause platforms closures at impacted stations. Please pay close attention while in station to ensure that you’re boarding your train in the right direction as the platform designated for boarding may be subject to change.
Updates will be provided as necessary.
Masks are recommended by public health authorities while on-board transit.
