Sound Transit Proposes Significant Cuts to Route 560 Bus Service
Sound Transit is proposing to shorten the Route 560 bus service, which would eliminate direct bus service from West Seattle to the airport.
Seattle Tacoma, WA, July 21, 2026 —
Sound Transit is considering a proposal that would significantly alter the Route 560 bus service, potentially eliminating direct transportation from West Seattle to the airport.
The proposed changes aim to shorten the existing Route 560 bus line. Currently, this route provides a direct link for West Seattle residents traveling to the airport. If the proposal is approved, this direct connection would be severed, requiring passengers to make transfers to reach their destination.
Details regarding the specific reasons for the proposed service reduction or the timeline for a decision were not immediately available. The implications of this change for West Seattle commuters, airport employees, and travelers who rely on the direct service are expected to be significant.
Further information on the proposal, including public comment periods and potential alternative transit solutions, is anticipated to be released by Sound Transit as the review process progresses.
