A new Senior Center Van has been added to service to both Northeast Seattle and Shoreline thanks to a King County METRO extension grant and New Freedom Funding. 

The van will travel north/south rather than stopping at NE 145th. That means riders who live in the Lake City area can now request rides to the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Senior Center. Also, Shoreline seniors and people with disabilities can be taken to medical appointments at Northwest Hospital, Northgate Group Health, other Northgate medical facilities, even Northgate Mall!

Senior Center staff are delighted with the new van.

"Now more people have an opportunity to come to Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Senior Center for classes, services and meals. This service extension has been long hoped for and is now a reality. The Senior Center can now welcome those who live in the Lake City and Northgate areas via the new shuttle service."

Senior Services Transportation have tried to ensure that all of the Hyde Shuttles are available to at least one medical facility and there are not really any in Shoreline, so this new service is helpful.

The van is lift equipped and operates Monday to Friday 9AM to 4PM. Call 206-727-6262 to schedule a ride.
