RapidRide H Line - Delridge Way SW

Updated January 22, 2024

Service launched on the RapidRide H Line in March 2023, the seventh RapidRide line in the region. The transit improvements span 12 miles from downtown Seattle to Burien, benefiting thousands of riders every day. The project was accomplished through a partnership of King County, the City of Burien, and the City of Seattle, with significant funding from the Levy to Move Seattle.

RapidRide H replaced Route 120, which carried 6,000 passengers each weekday and a total of 1.7 million people in 2022. RapidRide H improves the frequency of transit service from downtown Seattle through the Delridge neighborhood to White Center and the Burien Transit Center. It improves service by offering riders real-time information signs, convenient off-board and all-door ORCA payment, and 10-minute service operating most of the day. 

Community input helped to determine routing, stop locations, station amenities, and safety and access improvements.
