Pledge to Flip Your Trip here and claim a prepaid ORCA card for unlimited transit rides through May 31.
“Good choices should come with great rewards.”
The campaign comes as travel between South King County cities and downtown Seattle grows more challenging due to freeway congestion, construction and major events at venues like Lumen Field and T Mobile Park.
The best way to get from Kent to Seattle? Choose your own adventure
For many trips, the most reliable option isn’t always driving. Sounder train service from Kent Station, connecting bus routes, Link light rail, vanpools and carpools (hello HOV lanes), and regional park-and-ride locations can offer predictable travel times, even when traffic maps are glowing red.
If you’re heading from Kent to T-Mobile Park for a Mariners game, or Lumen Field for a Sounders, Reign, or other major stadium event, transit can also help you skip expensive Seattle event parking and post-game gridlock. Many Kent residents choose to board the Sounder at Kent Station (or even Tukwila Station) and arrive steps from the stadiums. And now the Link Light rail 1 Line is serving the area with stations at Kent Des Moines and Star Lake. There are also bus routes 150 and 162, and on-demand transit like Metro Flex—you’ve got options!
Smarter commute planning for Kent residents
Whether you commute daily, work hybrid, or are just looking for the best way to get from Kent to Seattle for special events, having flexible travel options matters. You can’t control traffic congestion, but your approach to it can change.
Flip Your Trip isn’t about eliminating driving altogether. It’s about giving Kent commuters more control over their time, budget, and stress levels. Maybe transit works once a week. Maybe it’s your everyday solution. Maybe you’re a fair-weather bicyclist only. The important thing is to know your options.
Residents can learn more, compare routes and claim the pre-paid ORCA card offer by visiting FlipYourTrip.org before their next trip to Seattle.
