With the incoming heat this weekend and temperatures expected to be near 90, cooling stations across the Puget Sound are opening their doors for the community to stay cool.

King County Metro has directed operators to provide anyone a trip who is seeking a break from the heat and/or would like a ride to a cooling center.

“Metro is not waiving fares during the heat wave. However, we never make fares a barrier to people in safety situations,” King County Metro says.
