Route Details

Route 546 ran for 2 years along the same corridor as the express route 545, serving the same stops on 4th and 5th Ave in Downtown Seattle and the same freeway stations, but would serve local stops on 152nd Ave NE in Overlake, NE 31st St, 156th Ave NE, NE 36th and NE 40th near the Microsoft Campus, NE 51st St, and ran express along 148th Ave NE, until it reached Redmond P&R.

Route History

The 545 and 546 express were introduced together Sound Transits second phase of ST express introduction in September 2000.[2] The 546 replaced the 148th Ave NE and Overlake parts of the deleted route 267, along with the Microsoft campus routing of the deleted all day route 263.

The 546 lasted two years until the opening of Overlake Transit Center in Febuary 2002. The 545 partially replaced service by becoming all-day with similar hours to the 546, and began to serve the two new freeway stations at NE 40th St and NE 51st St along SR-520.[3]
