    We partnered with @4culture to bring a limited-edition SEA26 ORCA card that celebrates the excitement of soccer and the culture of the PNW. This pocket-sized piece of art, designed by local artist Alison Bremner, is now available in our Pass Sales Office while supplies last.

    Effective immediately, Metro will no longer provide buses to law enforcement traveling to demonstrations or protests. Our core mission is to serve the public. This decision reflects that mission.

    Eclipse was a super sweet, world-famous, bus riding dog and true Seattle icon. You brought joy and happiness to everyone and showed us all that good dogs belong on the bus.
    Eclipse the bus riding black lab mastiff mix, is pictured looking up and focused against a green grass background. Text on graphic reads "Rest in peace, Eclipse. Thank you for bringing us so many smiles. Love King County Metro and Rapid Ride D Line riders."

    Masks are still required on King County Metro. A federal judge in Florida ruled against the transit mask mandate, there may be an appeal from the Justice Department that could lead to delayed implementation or for the decision to be altered or overruled. kingcountymetro.blog/2022/04/18/mas…

    Metro was able to put surplus equipment we got after the battle of Hoth to good use! #MayTheFourthBeWithYou

    It is not appropriate for a transit agency to deliver high numbers of law enforcement officers to a demonstration or protest. To the those who held us accountable for transporting law enforcement in the early days of the demonstrations: We heard you.

    There will be a very high number of bus trip cancellations on Friday. Please seek out more frequent routes or make alternate travel plans. Many Metro employees will attend the procession and memorial for bus operator Shawn Yim. kingcountymetro.blog/2025/01/08/pro…

    The boys are back in town! The @Mariners return from the All-Star break with a 14 game win streak and a sold-out @TMobilePark to kick off their weekend series against the Astros. If you're headed to the ballpark this weekend plan extra time for your trip and take transit!
    Mariner Moose sits in the operator seat of a Metro bus. The moose has one arm on the wheel, one arm on the back of the seat, and is facing the door of the bus as if to greet boarding passengers.

    We are committed to prioritizing service to areas of highest need and dismantling racism. As we redouble these commitments, we must consider what our relationship to law enforcement means for our customers within the communities we are most called to serve.
