Travel Note
It's about 1.25 hours by car from Seatac Airport to Olympia. There are a few different options to get from the airport to your lodging: 1) Rental car - probably the best option regardless of flight time 2) Public transportation via bus - we can help you figure this out but it's not going to be a quick trip, and the timing may be challenging depending on your flight arrival/departure time. Probably the cheapest option but potentially the most confusing. 3) Flix Bus - private bus company that runs 2x/day from Seattle to Seatac to Olympia. We've never taken it and can't speak to it, but it's cheap and may work for you 4) Private airport shuttle company - very pricey each way but it'll work 5) Uber - very pricey each way but it'll work
Travel Note
If you have a rental car, great! If not, Uber/Lyft works well. There's also the public bus system in Olympia, which is free! Street parking in downtown Olympia is metered M-F but free after 5pm. InterCity Transit (Olympia public transit): https://www.intercitytransit.com/plan-your-trip/routes
