Buses no longer allow passengers to board or alight at this busy intersection which has been plagued by frequent illegal activity. The bus stop serves routes 1, 7, 9, 14, 36, 60, and 106, connecting downtown Seattle to neighborhoods like Renton, Mount Baker, and Othello Station.
Despite the closure, Metro emphasized that the change is temporary, with the stop set to reopen once safety conditions improve.
