A major change in Seattle's transit system begins March 19th, and will be fully implemented beginning on Saturday March 26th, two days before the start of CEAL workshops at the University of Washington. The "Sound Transit" light rail line will extend to the University of Washington beginning on March 19th, and bus routes will be revised on March 26th to take advantage of the new rail service. (Sound Transit light rail goes from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SeaTac), through downtown, and now will continue to University of Washington station, near Husky Stadium, at the south end of campus.)
These transit changes to both Light Rail and King County Metro bus will affect CEAL 2016 attendees making their way between the University of Washington campus and downtown Seattle. Below are some links and information about getting around Seattle and the University of Washington by rail and bus. The routes and schedules noted reflect the complete revision to be instituted on Saturday March 26th.
I look forward to seeing you in Seattle!
