This week Metro raised the Pride Progress Flag at several Metro worksites. This annual tradition is one of the ways Metro shows solidarity and support in standing with our Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual (LGBTQIA+) and Two-Spirit family, friends, and colleagues. It was the perfect way for us to kick-off Pride Month celebrations.

New, vibrant shelter murals reflect the strength of the AANHP community
Three King County Metro bus stops in and around the Chinatown-International District now celebrate the American Asian, Native Hawaiian and Pasifika art of Metro employee Wan-Lin Tsou (she/her).
Tsou created her art as part of Metro?s celebration of American Asian, Native Hawaiian and Pasifika Heritage (AANHP) Month, traditionally observed in May. The art projects, all designed by Metro employees, also included a dramatic bus wrap by Vance Sakado celebrating his heritage, and a large multi-panel installation by Linh Hoang and Keiko Budech celebrating the love and hard work of AANHP mothers. Hear their stories in their own words in recent interviews.
?I?m just so thrilled to see my art publicly displayed,? she said. ?It?s such an honor, and I love sharing images of this really rich, diverse community with the region. I wanted to showcase the many facets here of the AANHP diaspora.?
Metro is hiring part-time and full-time transit operators (bus drivers) and trades professionals to keep the region moving. Learn more on our website.?
