Sound Transit schedule changes
Seahawks fans won’t be taking the Sounder train to the game against San Francisco on Sunday.
Sound Transit canceled game day service because of the late kickoff time. The 5:20 p.m. start doesn’t allow for enough time for crews to rest before Monday’s commuter service.
Additional bus service will be available Sunday.
