The MLB #AllStarGame festivities start in Seattle in just a couple days! It's going to bring A LOT of fans so we put together kind of a Travel to the All-Star Game 101 blog. In short: Consider anything besides driving if you can. https://t.co/2fka9y1DWC

Tomorrow's Link commute just got a whole lot easier. It's back to regular service tomorrow--no more transfers at Pioneer Square. Trains running every 10 minutes at peak instead of 8 minutes tomorrow only. Tuesday we'll be fully back to normal. Thanks for all your patience!

Normal service will be resuming as we open this morning! Crews working overnight were able to fix the problem causing yesterday's service disruption in the downtown tunnel. Thanks to all of our riders for their patience yesterday.

Great hanging with you @Spottnik and seeing some old friends. If you haven’t joined the SDOT Director for one of his Culture Connector walks, you should!

Great to see our new end-of-line train cleaning crews starting out today! They’ll initially be working day shifts Monday-Friday, but we’re trying to staff up to expand those hours and days.

Midterm elections matter.

Don’t let anyone convince you that your vote won’t make a difference. Show up at the polls today and vote for Democrats up and down the ballot.
