Late trips added to local routes serving the Fair 



Snohomish County, Wash. - Want to go the Evergreen State Fair, but don't want to fight the traffic? Community Transit is adding late night trips on routes serving the fairgrounds from Aug. 27 through Sept. 7, and will deliver fairgoers to the main gate all day.



Community Transit Routes 270, 271 and 275 provide service between Everett Station and east Snohomish County, and also will serve the fairgrounds directly. Snohomish County's transit provider also will add extra late-night trips for those who like to stay until closing. Extra trips from the fairgrounds include:

·         Weekdays, eastbound to the Sultan Park & Ride at about 11:20 p.m. The last regularly-scheduled westbound trip to Everett Station also leaves the fairgrounds at 11:20 p.m.

·         Saturdays, eastbound to the Sultan Park & Ride at 10:30 and 11:25 p.m. and westbound to Everett Station at 8:20, 9:25, 10:20 and 11:40 p.m.

·         Sundays, eastbound to the Sultan Park & Ride at 9:11, 10:30 and 11:25 p.m. and westbound to Everett Station at 8:20, 9:25, 10:20 and 11:40 p.m.



Tips for taking the bus to the Fair

At peak times, bus service to the Fair may be crowded and passengers may have to stand. During the week, midday travel can help you avoid the crowds. On weekends, arriving early or leaving the fairgrounds after 4 p.m. can help avoid crowded buses.



Fares

Local bus fares are $1.50 for adults, $1 for youth (6-18) and 50 cents for seniors or the disabled. You can transfer for free between Community Transit bus routes by requesting a transfer slip from the driver when you pay your fare. With bus service throughout Snohomish County, it's easy to take the bus all the way to the Fair, whether you live in Monroe, Lynnwood or Stanwood.
