King County Metro Bus Service Resumes As Roads Clear

KING COUNTY, WA — King County Metro has resumed its bus service after recent snowstorms temporarily parked the vehicles.

Weekend bus routes returned Sunday morning, and weekday bus service resumes today. Officials said "clearer roads and milder weather" mean conditions are safe enough for the buses to travel.

But riders are encouraged to check Metro's Service Advisories before traveling, as winter weather and/or construction continue to cause some disruptions. A small number of trips may be canceled, officials said, and some routes may operate with chained shuttles in places where road conditions remain difficult — like hilly or higher-altitude areas.

Other King County Metro transportation services are returning as well.

West Seattle water taxi route operated its Sunday sailings yesterday, and Regular Vashon and West Seattle sailings are planned for today.

On-demand services, including Via to Transit in south Seattle and south King County and Ride Pingo to Transit in Kent return to regular service today, and DART will have regular service today as well.

"Thank you to our Metro colleagues and to jurisdictions across King County for their hard work and long hours during the snow response and recovery," King County Metro officials said in a statement.
