*Metro Flex Expands to More of Kenmore
*Last week, King County held an event at Kenmore Middle School to showcase and celebrate the newly expanded Metro Flex program into most of Kenmore and into neighboring cities including Brier and Lake Forest Park. For the cost of a bus fare and with a few simple taps, a Metro Flex van will pick you up at or near your home and take you anywhere in the zone, including the park and ride or a bus line. And kids ride for free! Learn more about the program, see the zone map, and download the app at kingcounty.gov/metroflex [ https://kingcounty.gov/en/dept/metro/travel-options/metro-flex ].
