Tag: transit

Do you have questions about transit? Are you in need of a new ORCA card?

King County Metro’s Neighborhood Pop-Up Program returns to Redmond this month on a regular schedule. On the second Tuesday of each month King County Metro staff will set up at the Redmond Library (15990 NE 85th St. Redmond, WA) and on the fourth Tuesday of each month they will be at the Redmond Senior & Community Center (8703 160th Ave NE. Redmond, WA) from 1:30 p.m.-3:30 p.m.

During pop-up events community members can get new ORCA cards, add fare to existing ORCA cards, replace lost or damaged ORCA cards, get new senior and disabled Regional Reduced Fare Permits, and register free youth ORCA cards. Staff will be onsite to answer any questions you have about Metro services.
