A groundbreaking event will mark the start of construction onthe King County Metro RapidRide I Line.
-- which currently runs between Renton, Kent, and Auburn -- and a new corridor to improve transit access in south King County. It will connect the transit centers in those cities, as well as the RapidRide F Line, Sound Transit buses, Sounder trains, and local bus service.
Once finished, the line will improve access to jobs, schools, and essential services, according to King County officials. The new RapidRide line will serve tens of thousands of residents along a 17-mile route, making it easier for passengers to travel to and from regional destinations and major employment centers across King County and beyond. Officials say the future bus line will deliver faster, more frequent service throughout the day, including evenings and weekends. It's planned to operate every 10 minutes during peak weekday periods, every 15 minutes off-peak, and every 30 minutes late at night. On weekends, service will run every 15 minutes during the day and every 30 minutes in early mornings and at night.King County Executive Girmay Zahilay and King County Metro officials will be joined at the groundbreaking ceremony by transit and community partners to celebrate the milestone.A teenager who had been missing for about a month has been rescued by the FBI and the accused captor has been arrested.A judge set bail at $100,000 Wednesday for a 40-year-old man accused of causing nearly a quarter of a million dollars in damage after allegedly breaking into thFor more than a month, the search for Nancy Guthrie has played out in Tucson, Arizona, with the mystery surrounding her disappearance only growing.Police say a man caused nearly a quarter of a million dollars in damage after breaking into Chihuly Garden and Glass and attacking a security guard.Gov.
