SEATTLE - Seattle residents and visitors were on the move last week, with SDOT reporting that tens of thousands of people broke the ride record for the city. 

By the numbers:

On the Saturday of Pride weekend in Seattle, people took 46,444 rides through the city on Lime bikes and scooters. This marks the single highest daily number of rides, happening on June 28.

Ridership of bikes and scooter rideshares have nearly doubled in Seattle in 2025, with the Seattle Department of Transportation reporting the city has seen a 90% growth rate this year.
