King County Metro has taken a closer look at how people travel in the on-demand Metro Flex districts and adjusted their boundaries to reach even more riders. Notably, this has brought a major change to north Kirkland. In response to major growth around Totem Lake, the former Juanita service area is now the Juanita/Totem Lake service area . As new housing, medical services, and retail have turned the Totem Lake Transit Center into a major anchor, the new boundaries give riders a stronger link to local destinations and the regional transit network.
Riders can use the Metro Flex app to book on-demand rides, travel to local places, and connect to fast, frequent bus service to the rest of the region. Learn more at https://kingcountymetro.blog/2026/04/06/a-new-chapter-for-metro-flex-in-northshore-and-juanita .
