As Link light rail extends south, King County Metro’s South Link Connections mobility project is working to improve public transit for communities in south King County.

We held the first virtual information session on Jan. 7. You can watch the recorded session on YouTube. The session is also available in Amharic, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Spanish.

We invite you to attend our next virtual information sessions to learn more about the South Link Connections project’s proposed changes and to ask questions:

Monday, Feb. 10, 6 p.m. Register here.

If you need an interpreter, please make your request when you register for the information session at the links above.

The virtual information sessions are an opportunity to learn more about the proposed changes to Metro service that will occur with the arrival of Sound Transit’s Federal Way Link Extension, scheduled to begin service as early as 2026. Metro is seeking feedback from riders, residents and workers in South King County through Feb. 28.

The 1 Line into Federal Way will add nearly eight miles to the regional light rail system between SeaTac and Federal Way. This project includes three new stations in Kent-Des Moines near Highline College, Star Lake, and downtown Federal Way.

Metro is proposing several improvements to bus service and is seeking your input based on feedback received from community members in our first round of engagement in Algona, Auburn, Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, Normandy Park, Pacific, SeaTac, Tukwila, and parts of unincorporated King County.

We’ll use your feedback on these potential changes to refine the proposals, which will be shared for  community review in summer 2025.
