Sound Transit schedules for MLK Day
Link light rail service will run on a Saturday schedule on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
The Sounder and ST Express buses will operate as usual. Connect 2020, a Sound Transit project, prompted the agency to have Link service run every 13-15 minutes in each direction March 13, and passengers traveling through downtown will need to make a transfer via a new center platform at Pioneer Square.
For safety, bikes will not be allowed at the Pioneer Square station. Passengers with bikes must exit at University Street or International District/Chinatown.
Schedules can be found online at soundtransit.org.
