While we’re always about using public transportation, we’re going to strongly suggest avoiding driving and finding parking on Monday and Tuesday. King County Metro, Sound Transit, Kitsap Transit, and the Seattle Department of Transportation Streetcar will go fare-free on Monday, July 10 and Tuesday, July 11.
“All-Star Week is our opportunity to welcome fans from around the region and world to Seattle – and free rides for all means a safe, easy, and enjoyable commuting experience throughout our city,” said Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell.
