SDOT has added a hardened center line at Broadway and E John, to put a stop to most of the drivers who think it's a good idea to pass a stopped bus in the oncoming lane.

This Halloween, we’re fighting back against the Ghost Buses!! Join us Thursday to talk to riders and hang flyers for the Seattle Transit Measure! RSVP below!

The speed and reliability of Seattle’s Route 8 bus

The Denny/Stewart Bus Stop and Palm Tree (both destroyed by a driver in late 2023) has been reincarnated as a beautiful double wide shelter and deciduous tree

I realized some of you might not be aware it is possible to preorder a plush King County Metro style bus Don't worry I am here to help merch.fixthel8.com/us/all-products/plush-bus

@hoponboardseattle.bsky.social launched yesterday to cheers and speeches by @wilsonkatieb.bsky.social, @alexis4seattle.bsky.social, @nondriver.bsky.social, and others. seattletransitblog.com/2026/09/12/h...

We did pay Etsy witches to bless Route 8 but one of them was not @mayor.seattle.gov

THANK YOU to everyone who came out to Race the 8! We lost so badly that we not only lost to the bus we were racing, but also the next behind it! We are collecting photos and videos to share, if you have any you'd be willing to let us use please upload them here: drive.google.com/drive/folder...

The L8 bus is now the GR8 bus! Thank you @mayor.seattle.gov, @councilmember-amr.seattle.gov, @streetsalliance.bsky.social and every advocate who made this happen! 🥳🚌

A year ago, SDOT said painting a bus only lane on Denny Way wasn't possible. Now it has one, so maybe it's time we stop worrying about traffic models. youtu.be/PADsDn-fj6E

I'll be there!

Hope everyone is ready for the race tomorrow! We spent the afternoon making signs to hand out during the race, make sure you arrive early if you want one! We'll start with a pre-race rally promptly at 5 but the race won't start until 5:20 in case you are running late.

If you’d like to help with money and advocacy time and help at groups that advocate for public transit may I suggest @seattletru.bsky.social Transit Riders Union @transpochoices.bsky.social Transportation Choices @streetsalliance.bsky.social Seattle Streets Alliance @fixthel8.bsky.social Fix the L8

We have a lot of things in Seattle that have been in planning for two decades. The Denny bus lanes were not one of them. Before January they were deemed impossible, and were planned and executed in eight months.

Paint bus lanes on Denny Way: ✅ Get massive transit service expansion on the November ballot: ✅ Show off new dance moves at Race the 8: 💃

The Seattle Transit Measure could be the solution to Seattle's lack of a consistent late night bus schedule.

One week until Race the 8! Bus lanes have been working even better than we expected and we'll have our work cut out for us if we still want to win. Time to break out those Couch to 0.5K training plans!

Thought the wins for Route 8 were over now that bus lanes are in? Think again! The new westbound bus stop at Denny / Stewart is now open! 50 additional weekly bus trips also start this week thanks to the Seattle Transit Measure! Let's see if it can keep this streak going with a win at Race the 8!

We love to see the route 8 fly! 🚀

We’re delivering a fast, frequent, and reliable Route 8. Community members have fought for years to make Denny Way better. We thank them. Now, we’ll unlock the capacity of this important street to move more people. Irresistibly good bus service is finally coming to Route 8.

Oh no that can’t be

…and replace them with this.

Our purpose in life is to do what we can to make life easier and better for each other. Today, thanks to the leadership of @mayor.seattle.gov, we’ve done exactly that for the traveling public in Seattle. What an honor to be a part of it.

Working as intended

Not anymore 🚌💪

Mayor Wilson managed, in the first year of her term, to do something that has eluded 30 years of previous mayors. I’m 50. The eastbound 8 has been delayed along Denny during rush hour during my entire adult life. Not anymore.

That’s right.

From L8 to Gr8!

@transportation.seattle.gov crews have been hard at work today rolling out the red carpet for Route 8. We couldn't be more excited to see how their hard work will pay off! Join us tomorrow to show them our appreciation and watch as they wrap up! partiful.com/e/w0hSSU53SX... 📷 @juanjpg.bsky.social
