    Is there any way to find out if the Water Taxi will run late tonight due to the Seahawks -49ers game? Can’t find any definitive info online altho I know that they have run late boats for night Seahawks games in the past.

      Hi, I don’t believe so but will doublecheck!

        Confirmed, no late-night sailings, but the friendly folks at Metro remind us that ‘frequent bus service’ will be available to get you back to WS if you take the WT over …

          Thank you for the information. West Seattle Blog is always the place to get the answers!

      I love taking it downtown for games but feel like it’s always a coin flip if I can take it back to WS

Sorry, comment time is over.
