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.
