Salmon Days creates bus reroutes in Issaquah

The annual Issaquah Salmon Days Festival will cause reroutes for transit service this Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 6 and 7. But, there is a combination of public and private shuttles to help people navigate through town.

Metro routes 209 and 271, plus Sound Transit 554, will not travel through downtown Issaquah during the festival. Metro will provide a shuttle van marked as “Route 271” between the Issaquah Park-and-Ride on State Route 900 to Front Street in Issaquah.

Festival organizers are also providing private shuttles between that park-and-ride and the Issaquah Highlands Park-and-Ride north of Interstate 90. Metro and Sound Transit passes and transfers will not be accepted on the privately operated Salmon Days Shuttles.

MEHVA hosts historic bus excursion Sunday

Take a trip back in time on a historic bus to go leaf peeping for fall color this Sunday, Oct. 7.

The buses depart at 11 a.m. from the intersection of Second Avenue South and South Main Street in Seattle’s Pioneer Square. Fares are $5 for adults, $4 for seniors (65 and over), and $4 for children (2-11). Metro transfers, tickets, or passes are not accepted. Please, do not bring food or beverages onboard the historic buses.
