First Avenue Shuttle Service – during & after Mariners Games

During times when regular 1st Avenue and 1st Avenue S bus service is rerouted to the SODO Busway or 2nd or 4th Avenues or Airport Way S between S Lander Street & Columbia Street, Metro operates the 1st Avenue Shuttle in both directions between S Spokane Street in SODO & Seneca Street in downtown Seattle. See Shuttle route and stops made below.

• The Shuttle operates on weekday games that start after 5:00 PM and all weekend and holiday home games*.
