Downtown Seattle Route Changes
Routes 111, 114 and 143 leaving downtown Seattle will travel southbound on 3rd Ave. instead of 2nd Ave. Northbound routes 111 and 114 will also travel on 3rd Ave. Northbound Route 143 will continue to use 4th Ave.
Route 308 leaving downtown Seattle in the afternoon will travel eastbound on Pike St. instead of Olive Way stopping on Pike St. just east of 6th Ave. This bus stop is shared by routes 306, 312 and ST 522. Morning routing will not change.
Moving these routes takes advantage of faster travel times and offers more travel options to similar destinations from a single bus stop. If you ride any of these routes, your downtown Seattle boarding locations may change beginning Saturday, February 11. Pick up a new GREEN timetable for detailed routing and bus stop information.
