Major reductions to Metro bus service to address a funding shortfall will affect Snoqualmie bus routes as of September 27.
The city of Snoqualmie is continuing discussions with King County Metro about ways to mitigate route impacts in the future. Metro continues to accept feedback on modified route scheduling and options.
The following Metro transportation changes will affect Snoqualmie.
• Route 208 has been modified. Beginning September 27, route 208 service frequency will be reduced from 60 minutes to 120-150 minutes. Trips will be added to provide two-way service during the morning and afternoon peak periods since routes 209 and 2015 will no longer operate. More information about updated schedules and trip planning are available on the King County Metro website.
• Route 209 servicing Snoqualmie will be discontinued. Riders of route 209 are advised to use revised route 208 along Railroad Avenue SE between Snoqualmie Parkway and the North Bend Outlet Stores.
• Route 215 servicing Snoqualmie will be discontinued. Riders of route 215 are advised to use revised route 208 and connect with revised route 214 or Sound Transit Route 554 at the Issaquah Transit Center.
Other Transportation Options
The Snoqualmie Valley Shuttle provides regularly scheduled service to Snoqualmie Valley cities. Rideshare is another alternative to meet regular transportation needs and reduce commuting times through use of carpool lanes.
