Скачать или смотреть Buses, trains, and...water taxis? Seattle public transit gets ready for busy sports weekend

A sports trifecta in SODO this weekend is sure to cause traffic and crowds.

The Mariners play at home on Saturday and Sunday, accompanied by the Sounders at Lumen Field on Saturday and the Seahawks at home on Sunday.

Whether by bus, train, or even water taxi, King County Metro and Sound Transit have been preparing to usher thousands of Seattle sports fans in and out of SODO.

“The number one tip that we have for people is to plan ahead and make sure that their travel plans are locked in,” said Jeff Switzer, a spokesperson for King County Metro. “So, when you’re coming downtown, have extra time in your schedule so you don’t miss the first pitch, you don’t miss the kickoff.”

Fans are expecting chaos and fun when both the Seahawks and Mariners host at home on Sunday.

“I’ve read that there’s going to be 100,000 people in the streets,” Amelia Hagen continued, “It’s pretty fun, it’s pretty awesome. I think if people plan ahead and their expectations are managed in that way; it can be a great and safe time for everyone.”

Sound Transit is offering extra Sounder service to and from Lumen Field on Saturday and Sunday before and after both teams’ games.

As for after the games, fans are expecting a lot of congestion.

“I think it’s going to be a lot of people departing at the same time if this adventure ends the way we want it to,” said Tom Hagen, wearing his Mariners gear.

To help accommodate the large crowds post-game, King County Metro is offering additional bus services.
