Sea26: Metro is here to support your Seattle soccer summer
Seattle is going to be part of one of the largest sporting events in the world, with hundreds of thousands of soccer fans coming from every corner of the earth to cheer for their favorite teams and players.
King County Metro has a vital role in getting people to Seattle Soccer Stadium for this international tournament. We’ve been actively preparing over the last 18 months to meet the moment. Strong coordination is critical for an event of this scale.
Metro will be boosting bus and water taxi service and adding special downtown shuttles so we can continue to be your top choice for riding to work, shopping, medical appointments and other big events such as Mariners baseball and Ed Sheeran! We’ll post new Metro Matters blogs to help you navigate Seattle’s Soccer Summer—along with other useful tips.
