Take Sounder trains to Mariners games Sunday

Mariners fans can skip traffic and take Sounder to the game this weekend

Seattle Mariners fans can take Sound Transit's popular Sounder train to the Mariners game against the Oakland Athletics this Sunday. The game starts at 1:10 p.m.

Trains from the north will leave Everett at 11:15am and stop at Edmonds. Return trains will leave King Street Station 35 minutes after the last out.

Sounder trains will serve eight other Mariners games through August. A complete schedule of game day service for Mariners and Sounders FC events is available online.

Special Sounder service is in addition to regular Link light rail service to and from Safeco Field. Link runs every 10 minutes on Sunday and serves 13 stations in downtown Seattle, SODO, Beacon Hill, Rainier Valley, Tukwila and SeaTac. Link's Stadium and International District stations are a short walk from Safeco Field.

Many ST Express buses also drop off passengers near the stadium. Link and ST Express bus schedules are available at soundtransit.org/Schedules.

Regular fares 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. More information is available online.
