New boarding location for bus riders at Issaquah Park-and-Ride

Starting Saturday, March 24, transit passengers will have a new location to board and exit buses at the Issaquah Park-and-Ride.

The park-and-ride is currently under construction, as Sound Transit builds a new garage and transit facility on the site. The project has reached a point where crews are ready to begin demolishing the current boarding area to construct a new bus loop. So for the next several months, the passenger loading area will be moved to the far east side of the lot.

Parking for transit passengers will remain the same in three locations: at the interim lot on State Route 900; the Tibbetts lot on Newport Way; and in 27 parking slots at Tibbetts Valley Park on 12th Avenue Northwest. After parking, passengers can walk to the temporary bus loading area via Northwest Maple Street or Newport Way Northwest. The driveway in and out of the temporary loading area is for transit vehicles only.

Due to the different routing in and out of the park-and-ride, Metro is also closing the bus stop southbound on 12th Avenue Northwest just north of Newport Way. This is also effective March 24.

The Issaquah Park-and-Ride is located at 1050 17th Ave. NW, and is served by Metro routes 200, 209, 210, 214, 269, 271, 927 and Sound Transit routes 554, 555, and 556.
