Just 10 miles from downtown Seattle, Shoreline has great access to public transit. Community Transit, King County Metro, and Sound Transit operate buses in town. Two bus rapid transit lines — Community Transit’s Swift Blue Line and King County Metro’s RapidRide E Line — provide faster, more frequent service than local buses. If you’re going to Seattle or the Eastside, you can take Sound Transit’s Link light rail.
