When we think of Spring we often think of changes. Like warming tempertures and more sunshine, the budding of new leaves and the birth of new flowers. It also brings new changes to service, starting Saturday, March 29th.

This year introduces a brand new ST Express bus route through Federal Way, and adjustments on routes between Snohomish, King, and Pierce counties. Minor adjustments will be added on the 1-Line service between Lynnwood and Angle Lake. May 10th the 2-Line service is set to expand into Redmond.

A lot of exciting additions are being implemented to better serve a growing need for expanded service across the region.
