Interstate 5, on the west side of the lake, runs through the center of Seattle. Interstate 405 lies east of the lake and goes through Bothell, Bellevue and Renton. The two major east-west freeways are Interstate 90 and State Route 520. I-90 begins just south of Safeco Field in Seattle and goes east, connecting I-5 to I-405. SR-520 begins a little north of downtown Seattle at I-5 and goes east, across the lake, to Redmond. State Route 99, a major north-south arterial, parallels I-5 between Everett and Fife. Traveling north toward Seattle, SR-99 runs along the downtown waterfront on the Alaskan Way Viaduct (an elevated road structure) and passes through the Battery Street Tunnel. North of the tunnel, SR-99 becomes Aurora Avenue N, a divided road with no traffic signals or breaks in the Jersey barrier in this section. SR-99 crosses the Ship Canal via the Aurora Avenue Bridge and continues north. Allow extra driving time during morning and evening commute hours. For highway maps and information on current traffic conditions and road construction, visit wsdot.wa.gov/choices. EXPRESS LANES Reversible express lanes with limited on/off access on I-5 and I-90 are used during peak commute hours to relieve traffic. Normally, they move traffic toward downtown Seattle during the morning commute and away from Seattle during the afternoon commute. BUSES Metro operates Seattle's bus system and provides online tools to help riders. No fares are required in the downtown Ride Free Area 6am-7pm weekdays. The Ride Free Area is bordered on the north by Battery Street, on the south by S Jackson Street, on the east by Sixth Ave. and on the west by the Seattle Waterfront. The bus tunnel is open on weekdays from 5am-7pm and is part of the Ride Free Area. If the bus leaves the Ride Free Area, the fare is due when exiting the bus. The stops along the route in the bus tunnel are Convention Place Station, Westlake Station, University Street Station, Pioneer Square Station and International District/Chinatown Station. The Greyhound bus station is at 811 Stewart St. Tickets are available online, by phone, at the station or at King Street (Amtrak) Station. TAXIS Taxis are readily available at Sea-Tac Airport (on the third floor of the parking garage), at the Colman Dock ferry terminal and at the cruise ship terminals. Elsewhere, call for a taxi or ask your concierge. TRAINS Three Amtrak trains arrive and depart at historic King Street Station (303 S Jackson St.), providing service to Vancouver, B.C., Tacoma, Portland, Spokane and other destinations. King Street Station is located between the International District and Pioneer Square, just north of Qwest Field. Tickets may be purchased online or at the station. Greyhound tickets are also sold at the station. Seattle's new Link Light Rail takes passengers from Westlake Center south to SeaTac Airport with 11 stops between. With 5 downtown stops and 6 south Seattle stops, Link's set to be a new standard in Seattle transportation. Link tickets can be purchased at all stations.
