ORCA cards are accepted for bus, Link light rail, ferry, water taxi, street car, Sounder rail, and monorail fares. ORCA cards are available from vending machines at all light rail stations, or can be ordered from the website. Compatible phones can also be used as ORCA cards
ORCA cards are available for rental from the room host
Each traveler should have their own card. Be sure to scan when boarding or entering the platform; an unscanned card is not valid for travel. ORCA card users can board buses at any door
When paying with an ORCA card transfers are automatic and are credited between services. If you pay $2.75 for the bus transferring to light rail will only charge another $0.25
ORCA cards can be loaded with a $6 daily pass that covers unlimited use of any service up to $3 in fare (e.g. bus, Link light rail) for 24 hours. Some more expensive services (e.g. Sounder rail, water taxi) will provide a $3 credit for this pass
On Sounder rail trips be sure to scan again when leaving, to minimize the fare paid
