PORT ANGELES — Clallam Transit’s Port Angeles to Sequim commuter — the No. 30 bus — will be rerouted to the Walmart Supercenter at 3471 E. Kolonels Way beginning Wednesday.
As the new Walmart opens, the old Walmart across the highway at 3500 E. U.S. Highway 101 will close. Bus service to the old Walmart will end Tuesday.
Clallam Transit will not service the parking lot of the new Walmart as it did the old retail store.
New bus stops will be located on both sides of U.S. Highway 101 at Kolonels Way.
The change is expected to improve Clallam Transit’s on-time performance, Transit officials said.
The grand opening of the Walmart Supercenter east of Port Angeles is set for 7:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Clallam Transit will offer a new weekday route from Sequim to the Jamestown S’Klallam tribal campus in Blyn beginning Monday. No fares will be charged until Nov. 29.
The enhanced service is funded by a one-year Federal Transit Administration grant that the tribe secured. A pending grant request would add another two years of the service.
The No. 50 bus will leave Sequim Transit Center at 7:40 a.m., 10:40 a.m., 2:20 p.m. and 4:50 p.m.
It will follow Washington Street to Simdars Road to U.S. Highway 101, then turn around at Old Blyn Highway.
Riders can flag the No. 50 anywhere where it is safe for the bus to leave and re-enter traffic.
