In 2026 Seattle will welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors for the World Cup soccer tournament.
What if Seattle signed key comfortable bike routes to help people get around town and to the game?
That's the simple concept behind “Bike Lines."
A bold, low-cost, high-visibility concept—we're piloting in Summer 2025, with an eye to expand to a citywide network in 2026.

1. What Are Bike Lines?
Bike Lines are signed, easy-to-follow routes that connect key destinations around Seattle through existing bike infrastructure. Think of them like Rapid Ride Lines or Subway Lines —but for safe biking.
- For the 2025 Club Cup Games we're piloting one temporary route from Ballard to Lumen Field
- What could a network of Bike Lines look like in 2026? Here's a draft concept citywide Bike Lines map.
2. 2025 Pilot Route: Ballard FC to Sounders FC
- From: Gilman Park / Ballard Brewery District
- To: Lumen Field (via Fremont, SLU, Downtown)
- ~6 miles, mostly AAA bike infrastructure

3. What comes next?
With hundreds of thousands of visitors coming to Seattle in 2026, we hope the city will step in to adopt this Bike Lines concept and sign a network of routes around the city. If the network is well received, perhaps it can become permanent wayfinding to help folks bike and scoot around town.
