This year introduces a brand new ST Express bus route through Federal Way, and adjustments on routes between Snohomish, King, and Pierce counties. Minor adjustments will be added on the 1-Line service between Lynnwood and Angle Lake. May 10th the 2-Line service is set to expand into Redmond.

A lot of exciting additions are being implemented to better serve a growing need for expanded service across the region.
