The West Seattle Water Taxi service will be suspended April 13 to 14 for training and maintenance. Riders can still take transit to Seattle Mariners games, including the RapidRide H Line. Learn more on the King County Water Taxi website.

This is an opportunity for the water taxi team to ensure their vessels are ready for regular daily service, and for the extended sailings on Friday and Saturday nights that start Friday, April 19. The work will include maintenance to West Seattle’s Seacrest Dock.  

The water taxi will not be available for trips to Seattle Mariners games Saturday and Sunday, but there are alternativesthat will help you get to T-Mobile Park, including the RapidRide H (short for Home Run) Line!

While the water taxi will be unavailable, there are options during the weekend closure to get you from West Seattle to where you need to go:

Buses

• King County Metro RapidRide C Line , RapidRide H Line and Route 21 connect West Seattle to downtown Seattle. These routes use a bus stop in downtown Seattle close to the King County Water Taxi’s Pier 50 terminal at Alaskan Way and Columbia Street.
• The RapidRide C Line also connects riders to the Washington State Ferry Fauntleroy Terminal, which serves Vashon Island.
• Metro Route 128 connects the Admiral District, Morgan Junction, High Point, Delridge, South Seattle College and White Center.
• The free Metro water taxi shuttles to and from the dock at Seacrest Park will continue to run during the weekend. Route 773 serves the West Seattle junction. Route 775 serves the Admiral District and Alki.

Link light rail

• Metro Route 50 connects West Seattle – including North Delridge, the Alaska Junction, the Admiral District and Alki Beach – to Link light rail at SODO.
