Sounders FC fans can kick off the 2014 season by hopping aboard Sound Transit's popular Sounder trains to the opening day match against the Sporting Kansas City this Saturday at 12:00pm.

Inbound trains from the north will depart Everett at 10:15am arriving at Edmonds 10:41am. Return trains depart King Street Station 35 minutes after the match.

A complete schedule of Sounder service to select Sounders FC matches this season will be available online.

Special Sounder service will operate in addition to regular Link light rail service to and from CenturyLink Field. Link light rail serves 13 stations in downtown Seattle, SODO, Beacon Hill, Rainier Valley, Tukwila and SeaTac. Link's Stadium Station is a four-block walk from CenturyLink Field.

Sound Transit busses leave from Lynnwood and Mountlake Terrace.

Most ST Express buses drop off passengers at or near the International District Station, a short walk to the stadium. ST Express bus schedules are available here.

Regular fares will apply for all Sound Transit services. ORCA and all standing transit passes will be accepted. Getting an ORCA card is a great way to skip lines at ticket vending machines. Cards only cost $5 for adults, plus whatever amount a rider chooses to load in the card's E-Purse or the cost of a pass that is good for unlimited transit trips. ORCA works on trains, buses and ferries throughout the region.
