SEATTLE (AP) — King County says road crews are ready to battle snow and ice, and Metro buses are ready to go to snow routes during a storm.
The county says it has stockpiled salt, sand and deicing agents and put workers on overnight shifts to be ready to respond to weather problems. The county maintains 1,300 miles or roads.
Metro Transit is urging riders to sign up for alerts and check the Internet in the event of snow to determine which buses are running. After the snow two years ago, Metro revamped routes to follow street plowing plans.
The agency said Monday it would limit service during the worst storms, with the goal of making the reduced service more reliable.
