Frequent all-day routes - generally every 15 minutes or better during weekday daytime hours - are shown with thicker lines and bolder text. Again, light rail station icons also draw attention to station locations.īus routes are then emphasized on the map with individual colors and numbers. The primacy of light rail is subtly reinforced with the area maps drawing in the underground and aboveground portions of the 1 Line through Montlake, the University District, Roosevelt, and Northgate with two sea green lines. For now, though, the Link 1 Line is the region’s only light rail line, which is why most riders may not be familiar with the numbering system yet. Initially, the map only has a green Link 1 Line icon, but future iterations will presumably include additional line numbers and colors as the Link light rail network expands in the years ahead - the next extension opens in 2023 with the 2 Line running from Redmond Technology Station to Northgate Station. Special icons call out light rail stations, including a red emblazoned “You Are Here” notice for the station that the map is located.

It also includes a full directory of routes and inset map that details bus bays and station exits. The map design approach emphasizes the location of light rail stations and frequency of bus routes that serve them. That could change in the future depending upon outreach and feedback as well as funding being secured for wider implementation. Initially, the quartet of area maps will be located at the four North Seattle light rail stations only (click for Northgate, Roosevelt, U District, and University of Washington station area maps).
