Lake City Seniors works in partnership with Sound Generations and King County Metro to offer participants options for transportation both to the center and in daily life. Due COVID-19 the resources below have changed, please check with each organization for more information.

Getting Around the Puget Sound

This program connects King County residents with information on the various travel options that can improve their regional mobility and help them regain transportation independence.
