North Link Connections: Open houses Oct. 20, 27, and 29 to discuss changes to bus service in 2021

Want to dive deeper into proposed bus changes for new Link light rail stations coming to north Seattle? We have three virtual open houses this month AND our online survey is open through Nov. 1.

Here are some quick videos to get you oriented to Northgate Station, Roosevelt Station and U District Station (and maybe inspire you to take our survey.)

We’re focused on making changes and improvements in North Seattle, U-District, Shoreline, Bothell, Kenmore, and Lake Forest Park. In all, changes to about 40 bus routes are under consideration to better connect riders across the region and take advantage of Link light rail expansion to new stations opening in fall 2021 at Northgate, Roosevelt, and U-District.

Now is the time to give us your final round of feedback before we take a recommendation to the County Council for consideration. Our survey goes into greater detail, and allows you to share your perspective by Nov. 1.

Our open houses will be via Zoom, with presentations and time for questions with transit planners.
