King County Metro changes #301 routing

By Brian Doennebrink

By September 29, King County Metro will make service changes that will impact route #301 riders from Shoreline. The #301 travels from Aurora Village Transit Center, south on Aurora, then east on 175th to I-5 to downtown Seattle and visa-versa.

Southbound, the 301 will serve the bus stops on Second Ave at Lenora, Pike, Marion, James and S Jackson streets.

Northbound Route 301 buses will move from the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel to Second Ave southbound and Fourth Ave northbound. Northbound, the 301 will serve the bus stop on Fourth Ave S just south of S Jackson St, the Fourth Ave bus stops at James, Madison, University and Pike streets, and the bus stop on Olive Way just west of Sixth Ave.

Also starting Sept. 29, the Ride Free Area in downtown Seattle will end. At the same time, riders will be required to pay on entry for all trips in King County.
