A new Fair Express service will run six days a week from Sept. 4 to 27, with routes to the Washington State Fair. The Fair Express will operate every 30 minutes from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. using Lakewood Station and South Hill Mall routes. Regular fares apply, with free rides for youth 18 and under. Park & Ride lots at TCC and SR-512 will close temporarily for maintenance, with closures beginning Aug. 26 and Aug. 31.
