The forecast calls for Seafair, hydros, Blue Angels and sunshine, and Metro and Sound Transit are offering free rides to military personnel from Aug. 1-6.

Fleet Week is a longstanding Seafair tradition. Ships from the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard and Royal Canadian Navy are docked at piers along the Seattle waterfront for the public to tour and enjoy. To celebrate it, active duty, veterans and retired military personnel can ride free in uniform or with valid military identification on these services:

• Metro buses
• King County Metro Water Taxi
• Metro Flex
• King County Metro Access paratransit, DART, Community Connections and Community Van
• Sound Transit Link light rail, Express buses and Sounder

Welcome aboard Metro! We’re so pleased to provide transit service to all military personnel who have served our country. For assistance in traveling on public transportation, visit Metro’s trip planner or call customer service at 206-553-3000.
