Metro will offer shuttles to all Huskies and Seattle Seahawks weekend home games this season.

Huskies service begins Saturday for the 4 p.m. game against Eastern Washington. The shuttles will leave from local park-and-ride lots beginning two hours before game time until 50 minutes before kickoff.

The lots are at Shoreline, Northgate Transit Center, Kingsgate/Houghton, South Kirkland, Eastgate, South Renton and Federal Way.

Shuttles to and from Husky Stadium are free if you show your ticket or ticket stub. There will be a $5 round-trip fare for the Nov. 26 Apple Cup game against Washington State University at CenturyLink Field.

For the Seahawks, shuttle service begins with the first regular-season home game on Sept. 25 at 1 p.m. against the Arizona Cardinals. Shuttles will run between the stadium and the Northgate Transit Center, South Kirkland park-and-ride lot and Eastgate park-and-ride lot. The shuttles, which leave two hours before game time, will cost $8 round trip.

The Seahawks shuttle will not be available for the team's weeknight games on Dec. 1 and Dec. 12. Fares for all Seahawks shuttles must be paid in cash and no passes will be accepted.

To find the location of the park-and-ride lots go to http://metro.kingcounty.gov.

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is also offering half-price parking for Mariners, Seahawks, Sounders and Huskies games, allowing fans to ride light rail to games. For Huskies games, light rail will take fans to Westlake Center where buses will take them to Husky Stadium.

The discount applies to parking for Friday, Saturday and Sunday games at CenturyLink and Safeco fields, and Husky Stadium.

The parking is on the fourth floor of the airport garage.

The $2-an-hour parking is available three hours before game time and for up to eight hours. A minimum stay of three hours is required.

The round-trip light-rail fare from the airport to the stadium station is $5; to Westlake station it's $5.50.
