The annual parade to honor the Irish patron will cause a few hours of rerouting for some buses on Saturday, March 17, in downtown Seattle. The St. Patrick’s Day Parade travels along Fourth Avenue north from Jefferson Street to the Westlake Center. Buses that normally travel on Fourth Avenue will be rerouted to Third Avenue from approximately 11a.m. to 2 p.m. Pine Street electric trolley buses will be rerouted via 7th Avenue to Union St, and Route 125 will be rerouted via 8th Avenue to Stewart St during this time.

Information about the reroutes will be posted later this week on Metro Online.
