How Snow Routes Work

  1. When inclement weather arrives, snow routes will be determined by route. This means that one route may be on a snow route while others are not. Example: Route 3 may be on a snow route while no other route is affected. 
  2. Route 18 has two snow route assignments, as severe weather often hits one area but not the other. It may be on snow route "A" or "B" (or both).
  3. Once declared, a snow route will remain in effect for at least four hours.
  4. Route information will be posted under Rider Alerts on our website, on our Facebook page and can also be accessed via our customer service phone line, 425-257-7777.

Severe weather can hit at any time. Snow routes are established for Routes 3, 6, 8, 18 and 29, as these are most commonly impacted by snowy/icy conditions. Routes NOT listed have no assigned snow route and usually can operate on their normal route, even during snow!

Please be aware that as snow and icy conditions cause general traffic to slow it may also cause delays to bus service even if routes are using a snow route.

Do NOT use Everett Transit Arrivals (ETA) when snow routes are in place. The times will not be accurate, as the system cannot be updated for the short timeframes of the detours.
