Link service to be suspended between Rainier Beach and Tukwila International Boulevard Stations from
October 22 to 26 for required power system maintenance
Beginning Saturday, October 22 through Wednesday, October 26, Sound Transit will be preforming necessary power line maintenance and repairs between the Rainier Beach and Tukwila International Boulevard stations that will prevent trains from connecting between those stations in both directions. Link passengers traveling through those stations should allow at least an additional 30 minutes for their trips as Sound Transit undertakes the essential power system work.
As riders arrive at Rainier Beach and Tukwila International Boulevard stations during this period, wayfinding signage and Sound Transit personnel will be available to direct riders to a free Link bus shuttle. The shuttle will run every 10 minutes to connect passengers between the two stations from during revenue service hours (4:30 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. Saturday and Monday to Wednesday; 5:45 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. Sunday).
The 1 Line will continue to operate every 10 minutes between Northgate and Rainier Beach; however, due to operational limitations, the service will be reduced to every 12 minutes between Angle Lake and Tukwila. Trains will run every 15 minutes between the start of service to 6 a.m. and after 10 p.m. to the end of service between those stations.
Passengers may also want to consider whether alternative bus routes may be faster or more convenient. A list of other transit options is available at
