Bus route changes start Monday in downtown Seattle to help commute times

If you're making your way through downtown Seattle Monday, there will be some major changes affecting thousands of commuters. King County Metro Transit has moved 12 routes to improve commute times while demolition on the Alaskan Way Viaduct continues. Twelve southbound routes have now been moved off First Avenue and will instead use Second Avenue and connect to Fourth Avenue. The southbound bus stop at First Avenue South and South King street will be closed down. A long-term stop on Second Avenue Extension South between South Washington Street and South Main will take its place.
