Shared electric scooter and bike programs operate under city permits across King County, including Seattle's e-scooter pilot, Bellevue, Redmond, and Tacoma adjacent corridors, with Sound Transit station rules applied countywide.
Seattle Department of Transportation issues annual permits for shared bike and scooter operators, capping fleet size, requiring helmet education, low-income plans, and daily data sharing. Riders must follow state law RCW 46.61.710 on speed and roadway use, stay off most sidewalks downtown, and lock devices to corrals. Bellevue and Redmond run their own pilots tied to Spring District and Microsoft campus connections. King County Metro coordinates first-and-last-mile integration with Link light rail.
Improper parking, sidewalk riding where prohibited, or operating without a helmet where local rules require one can result in citations starting around $50, plus operator account suspension.
