Light Rail Secrets Revealed!

Seattle Transit Blog, whom I love for producing just these kinds of omnibus posts, has a bookmark-necessary post on where the light rail stations are, and how you can get to them after the recent bus line changes.

Martin helpfully points you to the Metro page on Link connections as well, before giving you a neighborhood-by-neighborhood rundown of how to reach a station. I feel dirty for even mentioning it, but there’s also a cheat sheet on how to drive and find parking near a station.

Ann Peavey (aka @SeattleMaven) encourages you to think of your roundtrip light rail from Tukwila to Westlake as a $5 all-day pass. I can hardly believe this is the case, but if you purchase a roundtrip Link ticket, you can use it as a transfer on most Seattle transit all day. (One-way tickets “expire” two hours after you buy them, but roundtrip tickets are good for the day of purchase.)
