Four blocks of new pedestrian and bike pathways in White Center are now open, making it easier and safer for people traveling between the Greenbridge community and the RapidRide H Line station.

The King County Metro safety project delivered on a number of requests from the community on Southwest 100th Street:

  • New bike lanes and high-visibility crosswalks
  • New curb extensions and upgraded curb ramps
  • More crosswalk signals
  • New flashing pedestrian crosswalk system at the White Center Pond Natural Area crossing
  • New lighting for pedestrians
  • New sidewalk segments

These improvements support the ā€œMetro Connectsā€ long-range plan, which includes improving safe access to transit for people walking, bicycling, and using a wheelchair. In urban areas, Metro Connects calls for 96% of people reaching transit by either walking or rolling. To achieve this vision, community members need to both be safe and feel safe when traveling to and from transit service.

We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding during the recently completed construction. Please visit the Metro team at the Fourth Annual Taste of White Center 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 28.

People walking and rolling on Southwest 100th Street in White Center can now travel more safely thanks to new crosswalks, sidewalks and bike lanes.

  1. Add a bridge from Kingsgate park and ride to Totem Lake Freeway Station. Move Houghton Freeway Station to the inside lanes. Add a path through the bushes to connect North Creek to Woodinville Freeway Station..
