Ride Metro Transit Shuttle to Seahawks Home Games, Huskies Games This Season From South Renton Park & Ride

Ride King County Metro to today's Seahawks vs Falcons game at CenturyLink Field. Game time is 1:05 p.m.

King County Metro Transit is teaming up with the University of Washington Huskies and the Seattle Seahawks to provide special shuttle service to all the weekend home games this season. 

Whether it’s a special shuttle or a regular route, riding the bus to the stadium can make the game-day experience more fun by cutting down on traffic and parking hassles. Not only are the stadium shuttles convenient, but you also get to share the ride with other fans and start revving up your home-team spirit before the game starts . 

Husky service began on Saturday, Sept. 3 for the 4 p.m. game against Eastern Washington. The shuttles will depart from local park-and-ride lots starting approximately two hours before game time until 50 minutes before kick off. The lots are located at: Shoreline; Northgate Transit Center; Kingsgate/Houghton; South Kirkland; Eastgate; South Renton; and Federal Way. 

Shuttles to and from Husky Stadium are free. If you ride regular Metro routes to the stadium on game days, just show your ticket or ticket stub for a free fare. There will be a $5 round trip fare for the Nov. 26 Apple Cup game at CenturyLink Field in downtown Seattle. 

For the Seahawks, shuttle service begins with the first regular-season home game on Sunday, Sept. 25 at 1 p.m. against the Arizona Cardinals. Shuttles will run between the stadium and the Northgate Transit Center, South Kirkland Park-and-Ride, and Eastgate Park-and-Ride. The shuttles leave from the park-and-ride lots starting approximately two hours before game time until 50 minutes before kick off. The fare is $8 round trip. 

The Seahawks shuttles will not be available for the team’s weeknight games on Thursday, Dec. 1 and Monday, Dec. 12. 

Fares for all the football shuttles must be paid in cash. No transfers or passes are accepted. 

There is also plenty of regular transit service that travels to or near the stadiums. Visit the online Trip Planner  www.kingcounty.gov/tripplanner to see which routes work best for you.
