Transit to the Seahawks Victory Parade]

Planning on joining up to a million of your closest friends in downtown
Seattle on Wednesday, February 11?

Get ready to celebrate with the Super Bowl winning Seattle Seahawks by
taking transit to be part of the festivities! The event will begin with a
Trophy Celebration at 10 a.m. at Lumen Field (tickets required), followed
by a parade along 4th Ave in downtown Seattle at 11 a.m.

But before you go, please make a plan: Travel early and review your transit
options and prepare to be flexible. And after the big event, fans are
encouraged to spend some time downtown to spread out demand while transit
works hard to carry everybody back home.

The City of Seattle plans to close several downtown streets early Wednesday
before the parade begins on Fourth Avenue. King County Metro plans to
reroute bus service
<https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fkingcountymetro.blog%2F2026%2F02%2F09%2Fits-parade-time-fan-filled-commute-expected-feb-11-as-region-celebrates-seattle-seahawks-super-bowl-victory%2F/1/0100019c4a7942ce-e1629e23-5333-42f9-a8ff-8b4cb95758c1-000000/8sD_um1t3mjLM3OarkXrNbEhYqZ9a-Dv2E4NbhORtMw=443>
starting around 5 a.m. and until the streets reopen after the parade.

Many buses that usually travel through downtown will pick up and drop off
riders at hubs north and south of downtown. East-west buses that usually
cross Fourth Avenue also will be rerouted, meaning riders should plan to
potentially walk or roll a few blocks to reach their destinations. Riders
are encouraged to review these changes on Metro’s service advisories

*Sound Transit*

Sound Transit will be operating 1 Line trains every 6 minutes from 5 a.m.
through 6 p.m., Sounder service will operate an additional four trips, with
three trains on the S Line from Lakewood and Tacoma and one on the N Line
from Everett, and increased Sound Transit Express buses will serve Eastside
park-and-rides into downtown Seattle.

While parking is available at all Sounder stations, it will fill up early,
as will parking at Link stations.

will
help you pick a bus route directly to downtown Seattle or to your closest
Sound Transit 1 Line station. Due to street closures and massive crowds on
parade day, there will be major changes to bus service to Seattle and
throughout downtown starting at 5 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 11. Many downtown
buses will be rerouted, and due to crowds, your route might not travel
where it usually does, so please allow more travel time and check
adjustments for your route on Metro’s Service Advisories web page

To keep service moving reliably, these key changes are planned:

   <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fkingcountymetro.blog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F02%2F2026.02.11_SeahawksParade_Shuttles_1.jpg/2/0100019c4a7942ce-e1629e23-5333-42f9-a8ff-8b4cb95758c1-000000/6MotOIIitkaM71hiBk-3LLItU29iQMUx_qgxjCAzcT4=443>:*
   To keep riders moving within the Seattle downtown core, special north-south
   shuttles will operate, and riders are encouraged to use Link 1 Line trains
   in the transit tunnel to travel through the downtown core.
   - Bus routes coming from the north will drop off riders at the north end
   of downtown Seattle. A planned hub at Mercer Street and Queen Anne Avenue
   will allow riders to connect to a Second Avenue circulator shuttle into the
   central business district. This shuttle will operate on the west side of
   the parade via Second and Third avenues and travel to and from Cherry
   Street. A second rider hub is planned at Boren Avenue and Pike Street and
   will connect riders to a shuttle that will operate on the east side of the
   parade route and travel on Boren Avenue to South Jackson Street.
   - Metro, Sound Transit and Pierce Transit buses coming from the Eastside
   and the south end plan to drop off riders near SODO and Stadium stations,
   where riders can board the 1 Line, walk or roll to the parade route, or
   take bus routes traveling farther north. Shuttle buses will be available
   north of South Jackson Street.
   - East-west bus routes will be unable to cross the Fourth Avenue parade
   route and will be rerouted, with details posted on Metro’s Service
   Advisories web page

   .

*King County Water Taxi*: Additional Water Taxi sailings are planned on
Wednesday to accommodate fans coming from Vashon and West Seattle, with a
third vessel available if needed.

*Seattle Streetcar:* Due to massive crowds expected around Pioneer Square,
the last stop of the First Hill Streetcar
<https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.seattle.gov%2Ftransportation%2Fgetting-around%2Ftransit%2Fstreetcar%2Ffirst-hill-line/1/0100019c4a7942ce-e1629e23-5333-42f9-a8ff-8b4cb95758c1-000000/yydnsxzPO5EwANpHa6aTCjFDZowskDWOOsmXPKlQ-IQ=443>
will
be at Fifth Avenue and South Jackson Street, not at Occidental Avenue.
*Kitsap Transit riders*

Kitsap Transit offers direct service to downtown Seattle on its fast
ferries from Bremerton, Kingston and Southworth.

On the Bremerton/Seattle route, Kitsap Transit plans to use all three of
its 118-passenger vessels to offer additional fast-ferry trips. The third
boat will operate one-way trips only to Seattle in the morning and one-way
trips only to Bremerton in the afternoon. In the event of any mechanical
issues with any of the vessels, Kitsap Transit will prioritize maintaining
its regular two-boat schedule.

On the Kingston route, Kitsap Transit will operate MV Finest with
additional crew to open up its upper-level deck and allow loads up to 349
passengers per trip. On the Southworth route, Kitsap Transit will operate a
250-passenger boat.
*Pierce Transit riders*

Pierce Transit is providing special event bus service from the 512 Park &
Ride and Tacoma Dome Station (TDS) to Federal Way Downtown Station, to
connect fans to Sound Transit’s 1 Line Link light rail into downtown
Seattle.

This special event service will begin at 6 a.m. at the 512 Park & Ride and
will also pick up passengers at TDS before heading to Federal Way. Service
will run approximately every 15 minutes until 9 a.m.

Board the special event bus:

   - At the 512 Park & Ride at Zone I
   - At Tacoma Dome Station (TDS) on the East side of G St. at Zone F

*Community Transit riders*

In Snohomish County, Community Transit provides frequent bus connections to
Link light rail and Sounder train stations. People are encouraged to take
the bus to Link or Sounder trains instead of driving since Park & Ride lots
are expected to fill up early.

   - Plan your trip to and from the parade in advance by using Community
   Transit’s Plan My Trip tool
