Bike the Light Rail: Federal Way Extension Opening Day (Leisurely)

Join us for a one-way transit tour from Angle Lake Station to Federal Way Downtown Station on a 12 mile route at a Leisurely (10-12 mph average on flat ground) pace to celebrate the opening of the Federal Way Light Rail Extension!

We will meet at the parking garage plaza in the upper area outside the north entrance to the Angle Lake light rail station (19955 28th Ave S, SeaTac, WA 98188). Bicycle access is from the nearby Lake to Sound Trail a quarter mile away. Parking can be found in the light rail station's parking garage. Transit access is from Sound Transit's 1 Line light rail (Angle Lake Station) and a variety of King County Metro Bus routes including the RapidRide A.

Please be ready to ride at 11:00 AM. We will start with a required safety briefing, and roll out when that’s done. All riders must attend the safety briefing to participate.

We will visit a total of 3 brand new light rail stations on this ride at which we will pause briefly to observe them before ending at the south end of the light rail elevated tracks near the Federal Way Downtown light rail station. Riders have the option to take the 1 Line of the light rail to return to the start or ride back on their own. There are restrooms near the start at the Chevron gas station and at the end at the Federal Way Downtown station.

The route is mostly on paved roads and trails.

Please note: this ride is expected to last around 1-2 hours (estimated finish before 1:00 pm) and will end near the Federal Way Downtown Station.

Bring a spare tube and tools to fix a flat, just in case. Please have full fenders if the roads are wet, or you may be asked to ride at the rear of the group.

Note: If weather conditions meet the weather cancellation criterion listed above or if there are unforeseen hazardous riding conditions or other unexpected events, the Ride Leader will post a ride-canceled note in the Comments section below at least two hours prior to the start and Ride Leader(s) will not be at the start location.

We hope you can join us!
