Metro Transit Alert: New Link light rail service and Spring service changes

On Saturday, March 19, Sound Transit will extend Link light rail service to Capitol Hill and University of Washington stations, one week before Metro’s spring service change takes effect on Saturday, March 26. This extension of the Link light rail network features frequent, fast service between downtown Seattle, Capitol Hill and the University of Washington near Husky Stadium. Metro’s service change will revise bus service in several areas to provide reliable connections to Link at these two new stations.

Especially in areas with new Link service, transit customers need to know that they will continue to use current bus routes and schedules for one week before new ‘Link Connection’ bus service becomes available on March 26.

New travel opportunities
Metro’s spring changes and light rail expansion provide current and new transit riders with many more commuting and travel opportunities to and from many more places. Even if your bus service is not changing, you may want to take a fresh look at your commute.

Phased changes
For one week from Saturday, March 19 through Friday, March 25, the following Metro bus routes will serve the new Link light rail stations:

  • Capitol Hill Station – at Broadway & E John St: Currently served by Metro bus routes 8, 9, 10, 11, 43, 49, 60, and the First Hill Streetcar.
  • University of Washington Station – at Husky Stadium: Currently served by Metro bus routes 25, 31, 32, 43, 44, 48, 65, 67, 68, 75, 167, 197, 271, 277, 372 & 373, and ST Express routes ST 540, ST 542 & ST 556.

Starting Saturday, March 26, Metro’s spring service changes will take effect. These changes include a new network of bus service designed to connect riders with Link and to provide new neighborhood connections and service improvements you’ve told us you want.

Additionally, In partnership with the City of Seattle, Metro’s RapidRide C Line will be extended to serve South Lake Union, and will no longer continue as the RapidRide D Line to Ballard. The RapidRide D Line from Ballard will be extended to serve Pioneer Square, and will no longer continue as the RapidRide C Line to West Seattle.

Campus events for March 11-13: Live! From the Last Night of My Life, Baseball at home, and more!

These are the events happening around campus for Fri., March 11 through Sun., March 13. BREATHE before Finals week events are listed separately here

Events for Fri., March 11:

Intramural Yoga, Athletics bldg., room 3025
Fri., March 11: 11:30 a.m. – 12:20 p.m.
Take time out from your day to rejuvenate and build core strength. Free to students, faculty, and staff.

Small Ensemble Recital, Music bldg. 818
Fri., March 11: 12:30-1:30 p.m.
The Student Ensemble Recital is considered to be a talent showcase for our dedicated music students at Shoreline Community College. This is their time to shine in the spotlight and to have an opportunity to perform in front of their peers. This is an invaluable experience for our students to build confidence musically through focused preparation, and the opportunity to perform in front of an audience helps them develop their stage presence.

The performances begin at 12:30 in Room #818 in SCC Music Building 800. Everyone is welcome to attend in support of our student performers.

Job Seekers’ Roundtable, Workforce Education (Ground Fl. FOSS)
Fri., March 11: 1-2:30 p.m.
office
Join us this Fri., March 11 for a Job Seekers’ Roundtable designed to get you placed through Accountemps! We’re in the Workforce Education Office (room 5116 in the bottom floor of FOSS, 5000 bldg.) from 1-2:30 p.m.

Are you ready to get a paycheck? Is it a temporary job you have in mind – that is, just something to make do until the dream job arrives — or is it something more permanent in an office setting? Either way, if you stop by Roundtable this Friday, your chances of becoming employed very soon will increase dramatically. Below is an excerpt from a very nice card I once received from Roundtable participant, Kathy Tiedman:

“My contact with your speaker from Accountemps facilitated contact with a recruiter at Robert Half and ultimately led to my placement in a long term, temporary position.”

Kathy went on to say that the experience boosted her confidence and has added some attractive cache to her resume. And wouldn’t you know it, Elizabeth Goodnow from Accountemps/Robert Half Agency is our featured guest for this Friday! Please come by, bring your resume and business card, and arrange for a one-on-one with Elizabeth. She and the folks at Accountemps have been awesome over the past couple years and have landed many Roundtablers much needed employment.

We’ll of course have coffee and treats on hand, compliments of Central Market. Have a friend or family member looking for work? Please bring them along.

See you this Friday – and as always, Good Luck Out There!

“Live! From the Last Night of My Life,” Campus Theater
Fri., March 11: 7:30 p.m.
live last night
Shoreline Community College Theater Department is proud to present Seattle based Wayne Rawley’s “Live! From the Last Night of My Life.”

Doug Sample is a man who has decided his experiment with life has, for all intents and purposes, failed. He has achieved nothing, accomplished nothing, and has nothing except his graveyard shift at a local gas station and Mini-Mart. He has decided that the best thing for everyone would be if he shot himself in the head, and he is planning to do it right in front of the Mini-Mart’s security cameras at the end of this, his last shift. But before the night is over, Doug will be visited by his past, his present, his possible futures, and some particularly annoying customers as he struggles with some of life’s most challenging questions like “Why should I go on?”, “What does it all mean?”, and perhaps most importantly, “Did I remember to change the cherry syrup in the Slushie Machine?”

Written by Wayne Rawley and directed by Debra Pralle.
