Planned maintenance is necessary at this time to replace a section of rail south of the International District/Chinatown Station. During this time, trains are operating approximately every 12 minutes between Lynnwood City Center and Westlake, also from Stadium to Angle Lake stations.
Passengers must transfer trains at Westlake and Stadium stations to continue to downtown Seattle stations, where trains are running about every 25-30 minutes. All trains are sharing the northbound platform at Symphony, Pioneer Square, and International District/Chinatown stations. Please follow in station signage and train signage to ensure that you board the correct train.
Passengers should plan for significant increases in travel time and consider alternate forms of transportation, especially local bus service for those traveling to a location between Westlake and Stadium stations. In addition to scheduled service, King County Metro will be providing a "downtown circulator" bus on weekdays during the evening commute to help reduce crowding.
Visit Sound Transit's service alerts to get more information about alternative transportation options.
Going green on the water: King County Water Taxi to run on renewable diesel
 The King County Water Taxi is shifting from standard diesel to renewable diesel to power its fleet. Why? Because renewable diesel cuts greenhouse gas emissions, works in any diesel engine, and is made from products that would otherwise be sent to a landfill!
Renewable diesel is made of nonpetroleum renewable resources such as natural fats, vegetable oils (like soybean oil), and greases. Many of these materials are waste products from other industries, like agriculture, and could otherwise end up in landfills. After these raw materials are refined into fuel, renewable diesel generally has fewer impurities than conventional fossil-fuel diesel, so it burns cleaner, creating less air pollution (such as particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxide).
In addition to using renewable diesel, Metro’s Marine Division is actively exploring new, high-efficiency vessel designs and zero-emission propulsion systems for the next generation of its fleet. Learn more on the Captain's blog.
 April is National Arab American Heritage Month—a time to honor the culture, heritage and contributions of Arab Americans, whose stories and experiences are deeply woven into the fabric of our nation.
Across the country, more than 3.5 million Americans trace their roots to 22 countries spanning the Middle East and North Africa. Arab Americans have long been part of the American story—pioneering advancements, leading with vision and enriching communities through service and innovation. Their dedication continues to inspire efforts toward greater access, opportunity and inclusion across industries, including public service and infrastructure development.
At Metro, we recognize our strength lies in the diversity of experiences and perspectives that each individual brings. We stand in solidarity with our Arab American community members against hate and discrimination, and we are committed to dismantling structural barriers wherever they exist. Recognizing heritage months like this one offer us important opportunities: to pause, to listen,and to learn more deeply about the vibrant communities that enrich our region and our world.
We encourage you to take time to learn more about Arab American history and heritage. You can start by visiting your local library, attending a community event or exploring the resources included in our Metro Matters blog.
