Seattle Transit
Right now in Seattle
Let's Play SEA'26 Visual Arts at Seattle Center: Sand Sculpture Installation by Jamie Louks at Festivals — heaviest district impact this evening.
Expect crowd flow before and after. Link or rideshare are calmer than driving the immediate area. Surrounding neighborhoods (Capitol Hill, Ballard, Fremont) are unaffected.
Link is the calm path

Two car ferries leave Pier 52 (Colman Dock). Use the swap button on any card to flip outbound ↔ return. The Fauntleroy → Vashon and Edmonds → Kingston routes have their own schedules — for those, use WSDOT Ferries.
What matters right now
Current Seattle transit signals
- WSDOT: The express lanes are northbound-only 24 hours a day through the end of 2026…
- WSDOT: The southbound I-5 off-ramps to eastbound and westbound North Northgate Way…
Recent network changes
The 2 Line and Judkins Park Station
Sound Transit's 2 Line now runs across I-90 from Redmond and Bellevue to downtown Seattle, meeting the 1 Line at International District / Chinatown Station. Transfers are cross-platform. The line added Judkins Park Station on the western edge of the Mount Baker / Central District neighborhoods — the first light rail station east of I-5 in inner Seattle. For Eastside-to-SoDo trips on match days or game days, the 2 Line into ID/Chinatown plus a one-stop 1 Line ride south is now the calmest option.
Bike today?
YesYes — conditions are fine.
Mild day, AQI in normal range. Burke-Gilman is the call for Cascade-trail riders; Lake Washington Blvd for the views. The SODO Trail is reliable through the city.
Why: 51°F · AQI 34
