Washington
| Name of System | Location | Date (From) | Date (To) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seattle | 28 April 1940 | Also 27 February 1937 - 9 March 1937 demonstration. All service suspended 21 January 1978 – 14 September 1979 for renewal; see note. See also Trolleybuses in Seattle. |
- Note for Seattle: All overhead wires, other infrastructure and vehicles (but not most support poles for the wires) were replaced during the 1978 - 1979 suspension, but the transition is not considered the end of one system and the beginning of a "second" system, because the suspension was only temporary, for upgrading. The current system is widely considered as having opened in 1940.
Dual-mode (diesel-trolley) buses operated 15 September 1990 - 24 January 2005 on routes using the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel. The overhead wire system in the tunnel was not connected to that used by surface trolleybus services.
