Beginning Monday, April 14 through Wednesday, April 23, planned maintenance will occur to replace a section of rail south of the International District/Chinatown Station. This work will require a service reduction throughout the system.
In effect: April 8-14
Routes: 1 Line
During this time trains will operate approximately every 12 minutes between Lynnwood City Center and Westlake, and from Stadium to Angle Lake stations.
Passengers must transfer trains at Westlake and Stadium stations to continue to downtown Seattle stations, where trains will run about every 25-30 minutes. All trains will share the platform to Lynnwood from Westlake to Stadium stations. Please follow in station signage and train signage to ensure that you board the correct train.
Passengers traveling from Snohomish County should consider other transit options, including the N Line, Route 510, and 515 on weekdays, to avoid the disruption entirely. For additional flexibility, Community Transit has added trips to the 515 during the tunnel closure.
Passengers should plan for significant increases in travel time and consider alternate forms of transportation, especially local bus service for those traveling to a location between Westlake and Stadium stations. In addition to scheduled service, King County Metro will be providing a "downtown circulator" bus on weekdays during the evening commute to help reduce crowding.

SeaTac Airport Station 2nd pedestrian bridge elevator construction begins January 8, 2025.
In effect: Jan. 8, 3:00 a.m.
Routes: 1 Line
Beginning January 8, 2025, through 2026, construction will take place at SeaTac Airport Station to add a new elevator to the pedestrian bridge.

The pedestrian bridge from the station to the airport will be unaffected and available throughout the duration of this project.
Beginning February 10, 2025 half of the passenger pick up/drop off area will be closed, as will some parts of the plaza near the stairs and existing elevator as equipment begins to come in for construction of the new elevator.
Additional information about changes in elevator accessibility will be provided as it comes available.
