King County ordered to pay $900K to worker over retaliation
By AP News Staff article
SEATTLE - A federal jury has ordered King County to pay about $900,000 to a Black senior Metro transit worker who said he was retaliated against after alleging racial discrimination.
The verdict by a jury in U.S. District Court in Seattle in June came after a seven-day jury trial before U.S. District Judge Thomas Zilly, The Seattle Times reported.
The panel rejected Claude Brown’s allegations of discrimination, but concluded his bosses retaliated against him after he went to the King County Office of Civil Rights alleging he was passed up for promotion and removed from a training position because he is Black.

If a stop has a bag on it, are the spaces now available for resident parking?
Bob Hull December 16, 2020 (3:39 pm)
Very good question about parking. I’m interested in the answer.
Flivver December 16, 2020 (4:15 pm)
My bet is yes, you can park there.
WSB December 16, 2020 (10:40 pm)
My bet is no. But I have the question out to the city and will post here when I hear back.

I’ve been wondering about route 57. I pass the busses nightly and they’re always empty.

My understanding is that Metro kept West Seattle routes 21x, 55, 56, and 57 in service, even while most other rush hour commuter express routes elsewhere in the county were suspended, to mitigate the loss of the W Seattle Bridge. But due to low ridership, they are likely to suspend them upon the March service change.
If you are subscribed to
Metro alerts, and/or follow Metro on Twitter, you probably noticed a dramatic uptick in the number of trip alerts today – 80 via Twitter, for example, from throughout the service area, including some on West Seattle-serving routes such as the 120, 131, 128, and C Line. So we asked Metro what happened. Here’s the reply from spokesperson
Jeff Switzer:
We saw a higher number of canceled trips today due to operator availability, which reflects more drivers who are out on leave. This can be due to sick calls or caring for family members or as a precaution.
Our backup drivers are filling trips as usual and some drivers also filled in when they completed their regular driving assignment. For trips we couldn’t fill in time and had to cancel, we are now sending more transit alerts and tweets than we did in the past (which used to focus on less frequent routes) to better notify riders so they can consider using alternative trips.
