ALERT: North Sounder train service to the November 30 conference semifinal match has been cancelled due to a mudslide.
Sound Transit will provide South Sounder train service to the decisive second leg of the Western Conference Finals being played by Seattle Sounders FC and the LA Galaxy Sunday, Nov. 30th at 6 p.m. The train takes off Trains take off from Lakewood at 3:45 and Everett at 4:15, with South Sounder getting to Century Link Field a little before 5 p.m. and North Sounder 5:15. Riders from the southend will need to hustle to Occidental Park if they want to participate in the March to the Match, but unfortunately northend riders will have to catch ST Express 512, meaning finding their own way to the bus stops, since Community Transit doesn’t run on Sundays cannot make it. The return train takes off Return trains take off 35 minutes after the final whistle.

As of publication time, tickets remain available for the match.
For fans visiting from LA, take Link Light Rail from SeaTac/Airport Station (at the northeast corner of the airport’s parking lot) to International District / Chinatown Station. Be sure to buy a ticket at one of the ORCA vending machines in the station, as Link is a proof-of-payment ride with fare inspectors.
As is the tradition on STB, smack talk is off-topic, unless it is in favor of the home side.
If the line stays open…
A mudslide just happened south of Everett. Amtrak and Sounder trains between Everett and Seattle are suspended until Wednesday morning.
Now we need to get daily Sounder ridership numbers from Sound Transit to compare the post-I-5 3hr bus commute because of a jacknifed semi (October/November) with the post mudslide numbers(December).
And Saturday’s mudslide won’t help.
Let’s take some of that useless BRT money, and for pennies on the dollar we can harden the North Line, then this wouldn’t be an issue.
Hopefully they will make nearly as many return trips as trips out, avoiding the Puyallup issue. (For the Puyallap 3 Sounder trains ran out with only one returning back to Seattle). Of course, need not worry about Sounder North…
Since there is only one inbound trip in each direction, that shouldn’t be a problem in this case. Unless North Sounder reopens in time for the service, but is closed down by a landslide during the game…
You forgot to mention to our LA guests: enjoy losing :D
After flying down for the away game at Stubhub Center, it definitely made me appreciate the transit we have here for sporting games. Even schlepping a mile to catch Rapidride D after a 7 PM Sunday game is ages better than trying to get in and out of Stubhub Center.
