Washington State Fair Train, bus options available for visitors Washington State Fair visitors can save on gas, avoid the traffic, and "Do the Puyallup" at the biggest party in the state by bus or commuter rail this year. Along with local connecting routes from Federal Way, Parkland, Tacoma, and South Hill, Pierce Transit's "Fair Express" service is back with express bus service seven days per week from three major transit centers. And, for the first time, Sound Transit will offer direct Sounder service to the Fair from Everett and Seattle on Sat., Sept. 13, and Sat., Sept. 20. Sound Transit express bus service between Seattle and Puyallup is also an option for getting to the Fair. Here is a look at some of the public transportation options available to get you to and from the Washington State Fair. Pierce Transit Fair Express Bus The Pierce Transit Fair Express Bus is made possible through a partnership between the Washington State Fair and Pierce Transit. From opening day on Fri., Sept. 5 through closing day on Sun., Sept. 21, Fair guests can catch the Pierce Transit Fair Express from Tacoma Community College, South Hill Mall, and Lakewood Towne Center to the Washington State Fair Events Center in Puyallup. Fair Express bus service will run hourly, with limited stops, from approximately 9:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, and run every 30 minutes from approximately 9:30 a.m. to 11:15 p.m. Fridays through Sundays. Fares for the Fair Express are set at Pierce Transit's regular rates of two dollars for adults, 75 cents for youth age six to 18 years, and free for age five and younger. Up to four youth under 13 can ride for free with a fare-paying passenger. Riders may use their ORCA cards loaded with E-purse or a September regional pass for the service. A Regional Reduced Fare Permit must be shown if you're a passenger riding at a discount with a 75-cent pass. Valid transfers from other Pierce Transit routes will also be honored. More information about the Fair Express and schedules for local routes 400, 402, 410, 425, and 503, which also serve the Puyallup area, are online at piercetran-
