Sound Transit will operate special game day Sounder train service, including two Kent stops, this Saturday for the 5:15 p.m. Wild Card playoff game between the Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions.

Special Sounder service is in addition to Link light rail, ST Express and King County Metro service to and from CenturyLink Field. Light rail and bus service will operate on regular Saturday schedules.

Inbound Sounder trains from the south depart Lakewood at 1:50 and 2:30 p.m., and from Sumner at 2:37 p.m. The first train leaving Lakewood is an express service that stops in Lakewood, South Tacoma, Tacoma and Puyallup before continuing directly to Seattle, where it arrives at King Street Station at 2:57 p.m.

The second train departs Sumner at 2:37 p.m. with stops in Auburn, Kent (2:53 p.m.) and Tukwila before reaching Seattle at 3:19 p.m. A third train leaves Lakewood at 2:30 p.m. and stops at all south line Sounder stations (Kent at 3:17 p.m.) before arriving at King Street Station at 3:43 p.m.

Returns trains for the south line depart King Street Station 10, 20 and 45 minutes after the end of the game.

Due to possible service impacts as a result of inclement weather conditions, riders are encouraged to check for alerts prior to traveling. Riders can sign up for service alerts at soundtransit.org.

An online schedule of Sounder trains serving the Seahawks game is available at soundtransit.org/seahawks.

Special Sounder service is in addition to Link light rail service to and from CenturyLink Field. Link runs three-car trains every 10 minutes on weekends and serves 16 stations including Angle Lake in SeaTac, the University of Washington, Capitol Hill, downtown Seattle, SODO, Beacon Hill, Rainier Valley, Tukwila and SeaTac. Link’s Stadium and International District stations are a short walk from the stadium.

South Sound game-day riders can park in the new 1,050-stall Angle Lake garage in SeaTac. An additional 70 parking spaces are available under the south end of the station’s elevated guideway.
