This year's King County Metromance stories
...Finally, fate took a hand and gave the two a firm shove: For once, they got on the same bus. “The bus comes, I enter, and a couple seconds later he enters,” she recalled. “He walks past me, then comes back and sits with me and says, ‘I feel like the universe keeps bringing us back together.”...

This story begins in back in 2003, when Darryl and Cheryl Estes were both King County Metro operators working out of Atlantic Base in Seattle. “We would pass each other driving on similar routes, and we would wave and smile,” Darryl said. “I’d always be looking for her.”

‘I’ve made a friend for life’ Mentors Moving Metro making a difference
Graphic titled, Mentors moving Metro. Pictured left to right, Operators Latoya Lewis and Karin Peterson
Karin Peterson is a veteran operator going on three decades of service with Metro. She started driving because, as a single mother, Metro’s flexible schedule and benefits matched her needs for her family.
LaToya Lewis came to Metro in 2024 after a family member suggested it was a good fit since she already had a Commercial Driver License. She graduated from operator training and became one of the growing number of new drivers to join Metro.
Through a program called “Mentors Moving Metro,” they have formed a bond that LaToya says goes beyond being bus drivers.
Mentors Moving Metro is a pilot program that was brought to Metro by the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU). ATU Local 587 and King County Metro formed a partnership to implement the program starting with Bus Operations. To read more about this program, visit our Metro Matters blog [ [link removed] ].

Executive Constantine announces proposal for King County Metro bus upgrades across the Eastside

Executive Constantine today announced a proposal for Metro bus upgrades that Eastside riders and residents asked for, including more frequent bus service along key corridors, more service on nights and weekends, new and improved connections to key destinations, and connections to Sound Transit Link 2 Line stations.
If adopted by the King County Council, Metro would add eight new bus routes, revise 16 routes, and delete and replace 20 routes in the network. The final network will roll out in phases that align with Sound Transit’s 2 Line light rail service extension across Lake Washington. Once completed, buses will connect riders to 12 rail stations in Seattle, Mercer Island, Bellevue, and Redmond.
