DART Route 291

Scheduled Service/Fixed Routing

Route 291 provides both fixed and (limited) variable routing, between Redmond Park & Ride and Kingsgate Park & Ride. (See Route 291 map.)

Route 291 provides half-hourly peak hour service on weekdays. You can wait at any bus stop along the route for regularly scheduled Route trips.

Reservations/Variable Routing

Reservations must be made at least two hours in advance and you may make reservations for 30 days at a time up to 30 days in advance. Reservations will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis.

Reservations can be made by calling toll-free 1-866-261-DART(3278) (voice), or 1-800-246-1646 (TTY) during the following hours; leave a message all other times:

  • Monday through Friday: 5:00 a.m. - 11:00 p.m.
  • Saturdays: 7:30 a.m. - 9:30 p.m.
  • Sundays: 9:30 a.m. - 6:30 p.m.

You can also make your reservation online directly through Hopelink's web site [external link]. Hopelink operates DART under a contract with King County Metro Transit.

This service is provided in limited areas between Redmond Town Center and Lake Washington Technical College (see map). Only a limited number of off-route deviations can be made on any given trip. Route 291 vans can deviate from their fixed routes to serve other locations within the service area, but they can not necessarily provide door-to-door service due to safety and other operational considerations (narrow streets, cul-de-sacs, etc.). You may be requested to board/deboard at a location a block or more from your origin or destination.

On the west side of Willows Rd NE, service will deviate upon request from the fixed routing in the northbound (to Kingsgate) direction only. Deviations to Lake Washington Technical College are only available on trips originating at the Redmond P&R in the morning and at the Kingsgate P&R in the afternoon.
