This transit center, right on the border of two Washington State Counties, is the only major transit connection between north King County and south Snohomish County. This place is just south of what appears to be The biggest Home Depot on the planet. Community Transit and rapid ride connect here, such as between Seattle, Lynnwood and Everett. Have fun!

My review for Clyde Hill/Yarrow Point Station is pretty much the same as the one I wrote for…read moreEvergreen Point Freeway Station as both stations serve the same purpose. This station is the 2nd to last Eastside stop before you head onto SR 520 so it is basically a transfer point. A lot of buses from places like Kirkland, Redmond and Woodinville make stops here before crossing over. On the return trip east, you can change between buses that originate from downtown Seattle and the U-District here. To quicken my commute, I have taken buses to this station and then transferred to a different bus to get to my final destination. Clyde Hill/Yarrow Point Station is partially covered, but open air. It can get chilly waiting here on winter days. Still your wait here is usually only going to be a few minutes, so it is bearable. I do have a personal preference for the Evergreen Point stop over this one. Heading west, I want to spend the least amount of time potentially standing on the bus that I need to. If your usual bus is delayed, I would recommend taking a bus to this stop as it gives you more options to choose from. It is helpful for those who need to change over from a U-District bus to a downtown Seattle bus and vice versa.

The Clyde Hill/Yarrow Point Station is super convenient to get to for Eastsiders. I've only been…read moreto this station a few times, only when my normal route has been backed up, and it's nice to know that there is this stop which isn't too far from downtown Bellevue. The bus stop is along 520. Once you're dropped off, there is a flight of stairs that takes you to the roundabout area that makes pick-ups easy peasy. At this stop, it's also covered, which has been handy since the last time I visited here it was snowing! This stop is not very walkable to any of the eastside neighborhoods, so I would recommend making arrangements to be picked up; hence, the roundabout driveway for cars here.

THEY CAN CANCEL YOUR TRIP WITHOUT WARNING…read more Trip canceled 1.5 hours after it was supposed to leave. We waited an hour outside and eventually gave up. No explanation or heads up.

DO NOT TAKE FLIXBUS OR GREYHOUND NOW OWNED BY FLIXBUS!!!!!…read more The bus from Portland to Seattle 1.5 hrs late but what was absolutely unacceptable was the PUTRID conditions on the bus (greyhound) It was completely DISGUSTING and TRAUMATIZING . Full of garbage upon embarking, the whole bus had an absolutely overwhelming smell of shit. Smelled so bad that people were sharing anything to mask the smell. Perfume, wet wipes, anything to cover their faces. The toilet was filled to almost overflowing. Unusable. It was unbearable in that bus and there was no relief at the one stop we made along the way, but the driver did get out himself to use the toilet. I ordered two seats online and the seat I wanted to use, by the window had no legroom because the seat in front of it was broken and leaning so far back. I wrote customer service demanding my money back and received no response whatsoever.

It runs through historical neighborhoods and serves students who attend Seattle Central College and UW. It travels by fun, vibrant storefronts of coffee shops, restaurants, and retail. You'll also see public art on sidewalks. If you continue to take it NB past Capitol Hill you'll eventually cross the University Bridge (opened in 1919) and into the U District. Right now you can take this bus from downtown Seattle to see the cherry blossoms at The Quad and the U District Cherry Blossom Festival. Sure you can take the light rail from Downtown to Capitol Hill to the U District but if you want to take the scenic route then take the 49.

Metro 49 is great when I go out to Cap Hill since parking on Cap Hill is a huge pain. Every time my…read morefriends and I drive to Cap Hill, it would take at least 15 minutes to find a free parking spot in the evenings. It is also because I don't know the area that well enough. So this bus is great! The best part of the bus is that it runs super late until 2am or 3am! I feel bad for bus drivers who work late and have deal with super drunk people. But if I want to have a late night out with friends on the Hill or even in Downtown, I could definitely rely on bus 49! It does seem to take very long, though. The bus is not very fast and stops VERY frequently. The bus is often on time. The bus, however, seems very dirty most of the time. Not sure why that is.

South Kirkland Park & Ride is located just north of the Kirkland border with Bellevue. It is…read morelocated right off 520 and close to Northup Way. A multi-story parking garage was built several years ago to provide additional parking spaces at this park and ride. I don't use this park and ride very often since I live in Bellevue. The park and rides at Eastgate, Mercer Island and South Bellevue are more convenient. Though if you live in Kirkland, this is probably your best option if you are going to park and commute into Seattle from here. There are a few buses that stop here. A few of them are more localized as they make stops only within Kirkland, though there is a bus that goes to Kenmore. And then there is the Metro bus 255 which goes to Kingsgate and Downtown Seattle. There are buses every 30 minutes each way on the weekends. But there is more frequent service (10-15 minutes) on weekdays. The good thing about waiting for the bus here is that buses stop in the same location in both directions. Though you do need to make sure you read the destination sign to make sure you are catching the right bus. The park and ride itself is fine. I just don't frequent it often because it is farther away and there isn't as much bus service to places where I am going. It is a bit more convenient if you are headed to the U-District and north Seattle as the buses that stop here going to Seattle use 520 instead of I-90.

But in reality, it's much more than that and much cooler than any other park & ride. This is most definitely the biggest park & ride that I've ever seen. The shelter for waiting for buses is the largest I know of, and of course it has murals on the walls painted by local children. This place has memories. Running from my car to the bus to try and not miss finals. Running from the bus to my car to try and get to the nearest gas station because I had to pee. Helping a friend learn how to drive. One of the coolest things about this place is that there is a heron family that lives in the very back of the lot. I've actually seen a heron fly into the tree, and it was a spectacular bird! Supposedly there are cameras and you can see live footage of the nest from the nearby police station and the Bothell Public Library.

Everyone knows you head down to Federal Way for Korean food. It's pretty obvious once you start…read moreseeing business signs in Hangul off Pac Hwy. Now you can get here by taking the light rail. The light rail connection from Federal Way to Sea-Tac Airport and Downtown Seattle is a big win for the South End. It's pretty convenient since it's close to the I-5 ramps. I know it'll be a drop off point for folks heading to the airport, work and school. The best thing about the 1 line is that it takes you right into downtown Seattle and UW without having to transfer to other lines. Plus, if you get on at the Federal Way station you'll get first dibs on prime seats. Hi-Five, right? Just like the named art piece at the station. The track feels like the Canada Line SkyTrain from Richmond to Vancouver, BC. No fare gates so fare evasion happens all the time. No platform screen doors like Sea-Tac Airport's underground trains so pay attention and don't fall on the tracks. As for tourism, some people may opt to stay in hotels in Federal Way rather than downtown Seattle or SeaTac. With this new light rail station, it's only a couple stops away from Sea-Tac Airport and less than an hour to Westlake Station/Downtown Seattle. I'm sure hotel shuttles will be a common sight at this station too. I always saw shuttles at the Angle Lake station whenever I dropped fam and friends off. They have public restrooms at this station. Hopefully during Summer 2026 they'll have enough Honey Buckets for stations that don't have restrooms. With all the games, concerts, and special events at the stadiums plus heatwaves there's going to be a lot of beverage consumption. Federal Way doesn't have free on-demand shuttle service like Bellevue. People will still have to use their car to navigate around the business district. As Federal Way grows, I'm curious how the city will shift from being car-centric to pedestrian-friendly. They don't have to reinvent the wheel. They just have to study the growth blueprint of Lynnwood and Redmond, ask them about their successes and failures, then apply whatever fits the needs of this South End community. I just hope Federal Way finds passionate, experienced urban planners who have the best interest for this area. I'm ok if the city takes their time strategically planning growth as long as they're thoughtful about the PNW environment and the people they serve. Anyway, the Federal Way Link Extension grand opening was a fun celebration. Lots of people showed up. Not everyone was able to get on the first NB train though. They had food trucks, activities, and pop-up tents with freebies and swag bags plus they had ST Merch. It was a successful party. Next up? The 2 Line Crosslake Connection.
