Zak Idan Cynthia Delostrinos Johnson Request a ride to the Link Light Rail and Bus Station with Via to Transit Click image to enlarge. Do you need a ride to or from the Link station? Via to Transit is an on-demand van service that connects you to and from the station during peak weekday times. Paused between March and June, the vans have resumed with enhanced health protocols. Separated from the rider by a plexiglass barrier, drivers wear masks and sanitize frequently. If you are within the specified service area, you can request a ride to catch the Link train or buses A, F, 124 and 128 at the station. Wheelchair accessible vehicles are available. To ensure social distancing, rides are currently private instead of being shared with other passengers. Via to Transit costs the same as a Metro bus ride. When you pay using an ORCA card, your fare transfers between Via and buses or Link light rail. For help getting an ORCA card, email SKCTrips@TukwilaWA.Gov. You can book an on-demand ride either by using the downloaded Via app or by calling 206-258-7739 (interpretation available). Ride and connect with light rail or bus service at the Tukwila International Boulevard station (also the Othello and Rainer Beach stations). Learn more about the service at KingCounty.gov/metro/via-to-transit. Playing safely in Tukwila Parks Click image to enlarge. Tukwila's parks and trails continue to be important places for residents and visitors to play, be active, and clear one's mind. Parks maintenance staff strive to provide outdoor recreation spaces that are accessible, safe and clean. However, due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, everyone is asked to do their part in helping keep parks - and those that use them - safe. Please remember: Stay home if you or a household member are sick. Wash and sanitize often (the City does not sanitize park amenities, e.g., playgrounds, picnic tables, and benches) Maintain a minimum of 6 feet between you and others. If park or playground is crowded, leave and return later. Always wear a face mask or covering. Always cover coughs and sneezes. Pitch in and pick up litter to help keep parks clean.
