Residents of Sunset West condos have worked a possible deal with Metro to modify the current Route 17 between downtown Seattle & northwest Ballard so that it would provide approximately hourly daytime and evening service, along Seaview Ave NW to and from Golden Gardens.

Beginning Sept. 2008, Route 17 bus trips would alternate between running on 32nd Ave NW, as they do now, and running on Seaview Ave NW. While adding new hourly service to potential riders on Seaview Ave NW, this change would decrease the current half-hour frequency of service for 32nd Ave NW riders to hourly frequency, so opposition can be expected from that quarter. The port has three Shilshole employees who have indicated they would use the new service, so some support might come from that quarter.

Please come to an open house with Metro:
