Light Rail

Best first route when you need the official Link overview, system context, or agency-wide rail information.

Use the official rail service area when you know the trip depends on train frequency, service windows, or route detail.

Use the quick snapshot page if you want current weather, tide, and city conditions before you travel.

Use the official planner if the trip includes the airport, transfers, or a broader regional destination.

Use neighborhood guides when the question is really where in Seattle you want to end up before choosing the train.

Use Live when you want the camera, radio, and city-movement view before picking rail versus another way to move.

Best first route when you need the official Link line map, stops, and route details.

Use the agency alert surface when the issue is clearly rail-specific and you already know the trip depends on Link service.

Use Seattle.net alerts when you want a broader city movement read that includes ferries, roads, and other disruptions too.

Return to the broader transit hub if the trip might actually be a bus, ferry, or driving question instead of rail.

Use Downtown when the destination itself matters more than the rail line that gets you there.

Go to the city-services page if the task turns out to be parking, permit, or transportation-account admin.
