⚽ Heading to a World Cup match? Plan ahead. Parking at stations will be limited, so consider taking a connecting bus, getting dropped off, or biking/scootering to your station. One important reminder: Bikes and scooters won't be allowed on Link or Sounder on match days. Bike valet service will be available at select Link stations, and BikeLink lockers will be free to use on match days. Give yourself extra travel time, arrive early, and check our preferred stations guide before you go! Everything you need before kickoff is here: soundtransit.org/soccertourn…

A Red Flag Warning is issued when critical fire weather conditions are happening or about to happen. It does not necessarily mean there is a fire, but that conditions will be very dry and windy. If a fire is present, it can become extreme! Avoid activities that could spark a wildfire! Red flag warnings are currently active across portions of the West. Check weather.gov.
