King County Metro Route 62 travels inbound from Sand Point to downtown Seattle, via Roosevelt, Green Lake, Wallingford, Fremont, and South Lake Union. Outbound trips travel in the reverse direction. In February 2025, Route 62 had 7,015 average weekday boardings.
As shown by the solid red line on the map, the northern terminus for Route 62 has two variations, depending on the time of day. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) campus hosts Route 62’s outbound terminus on weekdays between 7am and 6pm. On weekdays before 7am and after 6pm, and on weekends, Roue 62 terminates at Sand Point Way NE & NE 74th St. When a Route 62 trip starts or ends at NOAA, it serves a few additional stops: one at Sand Point Way NE & NE 77th St and three stops on the NOAA campus. When an inbound trip starts at Sand Point Way NE & NE 74th St, it immediately turns right to 74th St then right again to 62nd Ave NE. These linked maps show the stops served by inbound trips from NOAA, outbound trips to NOAA, inbound trips from 74th St, and outbound trips to 74th St.
