Disruptions to Link light rail service Jan. 13 - Feb. 4
Pictured above: Northgate Station
From Jan. 13 – Feb. 4, Sound Transit’s Link light rail will have reduced service on the 1 Line train between Northgate and Angle Lake due to necessary station repairs. There will also be weekend closures of downtown Seattle stations. Many Community Transit bus riders transfer to light rail; we want you to be aware of this disruption and urge you to sign up for ST Link rider alerts.
Weekday light rail service
On weekdays during this period, 1 Line trains will run only every 26 minutes between Northgate and Angle Lake. Additional weekday trains will run between Northgate–University of Washington, and between Stadium–Angle Lake, for combined service every 13 minutes in these areas.
This means passengers who board at stations outside of Capitol Hill or downtown Seattle will need to stay alert to which train they board. Half of the trains will serve all stations along the 1 Line, while the other half will terminate at either University of Washington or Stadium stations.
If your destination is downtown or Capitol Hill, you may wait for the full-service train, or ride the additional service train to UW or Stadium stations, and then wait 13 minutes to transfer to the next train that goes all the way through.
Additionally, if you are going to spend a day in Seattle, Community Transit offers direct commuter bus routes to Seattle during the weekdays.
Weekend light rail service
On weekends during this period, 1 Line trains will run every 15 minutes between Northgate–Capitol Hill and between SODO–Angle Lake. Downtown Seattle Link stations will be closed. Sound Transit will run shuttle buses every 10-15 minutes to replace trains between Capitol Hill–SODO and serve all closed stations.

Sound Transit will be providing staff ambassadors at stations during the disruption period to assist passengers. Sound Transit also has a webpage dedicated to the upcoming service disruption, which includes station-specific information and a tips for riders page. You can access PDFs of train schedules and maps for this upcoming 1 Line disruption here.
If you currently take Link light rail, or plan to take it in the future, we highly suggest you sign up for Sound Transit’s rider alerts to stay in the loop about any service delays or disruptions. This is the best way to get immediate updates directly from Sound Transit.
