Beginning this summer, six artists are riding buses, exploring neighborhoods, and listening to stories shared by riders, operators, and neighbors as part of Moving Stories, a new public art initiative developed by 4Culture in partnership with King County Metro.

Their research will inform twelve original graphic novels inspired by the people, places, and experiences that make Metro’s RapidRide network unique. Each novel will focus on a different existing or planned RapidRide line, A-K and R.

The collection will be distributed free to the public to coincide with the launch of the I Line in 2027.

Whether you ride RapidRide every day, once in a while, or simply live, work, learn, or spend time along a RapidRide line, we’d love to hear from YOU! Share a memory, an observation, a favorite view, a missed connection, a funny story, a local landmark, or a moment that changed the way you see your community.
