Starting Saturday, February 5, Metro will make routing and bus stop changes for approximately two dozen bus routes serving downtown Seattle due to the long-term construction in downtown Seattle and SODO. Some of these changes will affect bus routes in the Queen Anne area.

While all the schedule and route revisions are listed here, an easy way to figure out how these changes might affect you is by using Metro’s Trip Planner. Enter a travel date of February 5 or later to find the updated service.
