It’s a hot time in King County for the next several days, as the mercury and summer events hit a high point. King County Metro Transit is cautioning customers that this could result in traffic congestion and delays for bus travel.
Today, the Seattle Mariners have a 1:40 p.m. game. Traffic through the downtown and Sodo areas could be congested both before and after the game. Bus passengers who are traveling through the downtown area during the Wednesday afternoon commute may experience some reroutes and delays in transit service.
If you are going to the game, there is plenty of regular Metro service to and near the stadium.
Then, Seafair hits a crescendo this weekend with hydroplane races and the Blue Angels on and over Lake Washington. Motorists and bus riders should note that the Interstate 90 floating bridge will be closed several times this week for the Seafair Air Show practices and performances during the following times:
• Thursday, July 30 – 9:45 a.m. to noon, and 1:15 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
• Friday, July 31 – 12:45 p.m. to 2:40 p.m.
• Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 1 & 2 – 12:45 p.m. to 2:40 p.m.
The hydro races take place Saturday and Sunday. Seafair is providing its own shuttles to the race course on Lake Washington this year from shuttle stops in Eastgate and Renton. Metro has bus service to both locations for race fans.
Commuters and fans are encouraged to ride transit or carpool to these events to help reduce traffic on our hot streets.
