| #Realign99 and the Seattle Squeeze are coming January 11 |
It's time to get ready - Starting January 11, 2019, the Puget Sound region will experience the longest closure of a major highway when WSDOT closes the Alaskan Way Viaduct to complete the work needed to open the SR 99 tunnel three weeks later. Everyone traveling in the region will be impacted.
With some planning and creativity, it is still possible to get where you need to go during the Seattle Squeeze. This is a great time to try a new mode of travel. Be sure to try out your new commute before January 11th! For more information on the closure visit SeattleTraffic.org and Kingcounty.gov/getready!

Your ride, connected. During this pilot, travel for free with Ride2 to/from the Eastgate Park & Ride and connect to bus service to Downtown Seattle, the University District, Downtown Bellevue, and Issaquah. What does this mean for you if you work in the Eastgate/Factoria area? It means you can now use transit to the Eastgate Park & Ride for getting to work, because Ride2 connects you that “last mile” to your workplace!
And you can use the service from your home to the Park & Ride as well if you live in the service area. For more details, visit the King County Metro Ride2 Page. AND there is still time to try Ride2 at the Eastgate Park & Ride and get a free Choose Your Way Bellevue Backpack!

Did you know that you can have a chance to earn awesome rewards just by logging your commute? Just by signing up for Choose your Way Bellevue rewards and logging eight non-drive alone commute trips a month you will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a $100 REI gift card!
Take a page out of Brett’s book! Brett is our November Mover of the Month and commutes regularly from Northeast Bellevue to Downtown Bellevue by bus. By choosing to commute by bus, Brett has had the opportunity to meet other members of the community!
Here’s what Brett has to say:
I choose to commute by bus out of convenience. I work at Morgan Stanley adjacent to the Bellevue Transit Center. Riding the bus makes me feel like I have a shared chauffeur every morning and afternoon!
Taking the bus has also given me the opportunity to meet a diverse group of people each day. I feel like I’m missing out if I’m not on the bus.
I have lived in the area for 5 years, row for the Lake Sammamish 5am rowing team and love to ski, sail, run and walk the neighborhood with my dog Hudson. Being the Mover of the Month made my day. The REI Gift Card will come in handy with ski season right around the corner!
